    TURKISH AMBASSADOR CONSIDERS RATIFICATION OF GENOCIDE RESOLUTION UNLIKELY

    Feb 5, 2010

    ISTANBUL, FEBRUARY 5, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Speaking at
    the conference held by Turk Democracy organization on February 2,
    the deputy advisor to the Turkish foreign ministry Namik Tan, who has
    been recently appointed Turkish ambassador to the U.S., said that it
    is unlikely that the U.S. Congress would ratify the "anti-Turkish"
    resolution on the Armenian Genocide in April, Marmara reported. "The
    United States will do such a thing neither this year not in the near
    future," the ambassador declared. According to N. Tan, such resolutions
    are extremely irrelevant and baseless, especially now that Turkey
    signed the protocols on normalization of its relations with Armenia
    without preconditions, thus taking one of the most important decisions
    in its history.

    The newly appointed ambassador also said that it would be wrong to
    scare Turkey away by voicing threats about Armenian resolutions. "We do
    not expect such a negative move from our American allies - not only
    this year, but also in the coming years, especially this year when
    efficient cooperation has been established between us. The ratification
    of the resolution would be a blow to the establishment of peace and
    stability in the Caucasus," he added. The ambassador also expressed
    his opinions about some other issues of interest to Turkey.
