US President George Bush forwarded letter to the House of
Representatives requesting not to approve draft bill on recognition of
"genocide of Armenians".
APA informs that Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Abdulla Gul,
informed about it. Accordingly to him, Bush's administration is
against approval of the draft bill and will do its best to prevent
adoption of the said document. A. Gul underlined that in case this
draft bill is approved Turkish -American relation will face crisis:
"US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, promised to undertake steps
not to adopt this document".
It should be stressed that Armenian lobby is getting ready to present
the similar draft bill to upper chamber of the Congress - senate.
Pro-armenian congressmen, Frank Pallone and Joe Nollenberg forwarded
letter to the chairman of the Committee on international relations of
the House of Representatives, stating that "Turkey is blackmailing
USA and it is inadmissible". Accordingly to them, Ankara threatens
Washington to stop arm delivery, fuel and foodstuffs via Turkish
territory for American army in Iraq. It should be reminded that
draft bill on "genocide of Armenians" will be, first of all,
considered by the Committee on international relations of the House
of Representatives.
