  • BAKU: US Jewish Lobby To Support Turkey To Prevent Alleged Armenian

    US JEWISH LOBBY TO SUPPORT TURKEY TO PREVENT ALLEGED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BILL

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    Feb 5 2007

    Turkish Foreign Minister Abdulla Gul is paying an official visit to
    the US, APA Turkish bureau reports.

    Abdulla Gul will meet with Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary
    of State Condoleezza Rice, Assistant to the President for National
    Security Affairs Stephen Hadley and a number of leading members
    of the Congress as well. He will explain to the US officials the
    damage of the adoption of the bill on alleged "Armenian genocide"
    to the relations between the two countries. Jewish lobby is said to
    support Ankara to prevent the bill. Jewish organizations beware of
    damage to military-strategic alliance of the two countries and US
    deprivation of Incirlik military base used in operations in Iraq and
    situated near Iranian borders. Chairmanship of Nancy Pelosi, who is
    close to Armenian lobby, to the House of Representatives increases
    the possibility of discussion and adoption of the bill. Therefore,
    three Jewish organizations will try to prevent including the bill
    on the agenda of the House of Representatives. They try to use Rahm
    Emanuel, the main author of election strategy paving the way of victory
    for democrats in order to influence Pelosi's position, who is not so
    close to Jews. The leader of one of the Jewish organizations told the
    Turkish journalists that Emanuel should be persuaded of the importance
    of preventing the bill. Nancy always follows Emanuel's advice.

    Turhan Chomaz and Orhan Ziya Diren representing the Turkish government
    (Justice and Development) and opposition parties will also visit the
    US tomorrow. They are expected to meet with congressmen and members
    of Armenian Diaspora. Yaþar Buyukanýt Chief of the Turkish General
    Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces will begin his official visit to
    Washington on February 11. Army general Buyukanit will hold meetings
    with the US military and political leaders.
