People in Ankara think the fact that the head of the Catholic Church did not use the generally known international term defining genocide in his speech in Tsitsernakaberd is nonrandom. (The head of the Catholic Church said this word Armenian but this does not change its meaning). At the same time, Turkish media expresses sorrows as Pope said the word "genocide" last day of his visit, ignoring the warnings expressed in the official note addressed to him by Turkey's MFA the day before.
