None
ANKARA - Turkey said Wednesday it was recalling its ambassador to Austria after parties represented in parliament signed a declaration recognizing the massacre of Armenians a century ago as genocide.
A Foreign Ministry statement protested against the move said Austria had no right to "accuse the Turkish people of a crime."
It said ambassador Hasan Gogus was being recalled to Ankara for consultations.
Earlier this month, Turkey recalled its ambassador to the Vatican after Pope Francis described the killings as genocide.
