Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutolu met with his Canadian counterpart, Lawrence Cannon, on the sidelines of a meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of Eight (G-8) industrialized nations, during which the issue of the killings of Armenians during World War I came to the agenda, the Anatolia news agency reported over the weekend.

Davutoglu reminded Cannon of “the importance of having a constructive manner,” on the issue, Anatolia reported, citing anonymous sources concerning the content of the talks which took place on Saturday, the second day of the G-8 meeting, held in Trieste, Italy.

Back in April, Turkey recalled its ambassador to Canada after a number of Canadian government ministers attended a ceremony organized by Armenians living in the country to commemorate the killings of Armenians at the hands of the Ottomans, events which Armenians claim constituted genocide. The Canadian House of Commons recognized the killing of Armenians during World War I as genocide in a 2004 decision.
