Ankara, angered by the idea of placing a monument in Copenhagen and in memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, has sent a letter of protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Denmark.
The Turkish MFA believes that this monument, which will be placed for ten days, offends the Turks living in Denmark.
Danish politicians, on the other hand, advised their Turkish colleagues not to interfere in Denmark’s affairs, reported the BBC Russian Service.
To note, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had harshly criticized Pope Francis for describing the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as the first genocide of the 20th century.
