Turkish Ambassadors to France and Canada Osman Korutürk and Aydemir Erman, recalled to Ankara for a short term for consultations, returned to their posts. “The return of Ambassador to France Osman Korutürk after a few days of consultations in Ankara is Ankara’s hint to Paris that it wants to mitigate the diplomatic tension with France,” writes the Turkish Daily News.
At the same time well-known Turkish journalists Mehmet Ali Birand believes that «each day Armenians advance more in their statements over the Armenian Genocide.» «The ring gradually tightens around Turkey and we only have an observer status. We become gradually isolated and we do not take any measures to influence the situation. We missed the train. From this moment on we should take steps that are most important, most influential and demand much political courage,» he emphasized.
