Bush will oppose Armenian genocide resolution
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
The US ambassador to Turkey said Wednesday that the Bush
administration would actively oppose a resolution to recognize the
deaths of 1.5 million Armenians at the end of World War I as
genocide.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers introduced the resolution at a
press conference on Tuesday. The Bush administration has warned that
even congressional debate on the topic could damage relations with
Turkey, a NATO member with close ties to the United States.
"The Administration will be actively involved with Congress to oppose
this resolution," US Ambassador to Turkey Ross Wilson said in a
statement e-mailed to news organizations in Turkey. "The Bush
Administration's position on this issue has not changed."
