01.02.2007 14:33 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Bush Administration's position on the issue of
the Armenian Genocide has not changed, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Ross
Wilson said in a statement to news organizations in Turkey. In his
words, the Bush administration will actively oppose a resolution to
recognize the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians at the end of World War
I as genocide. He also underlined the Bush administration has warned
that even congressional debate on the topic can damage relations with
Turkey, a NATO member with close ties to the United States. In keeping
with traditional U.S. policy, Wilson's statement referred to the
killings as "tragic events that took place at the end of the Ottoman
Empire," not as genocide, The International Herald Tribune reports.
