Feb 19 2007
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned the US Congress
against passing a Resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide in 1915.
"I expect the Congress not to back such resolution, otherwise,
it can harm our strategic partnership in the future," Erdogan told
Turkish media.
French parliament's lower house recently passed a bill that would
make it a crime to deny Armenian genocide in the period of 1915-1917.
Later on, the European Union condemned the passage of this law,
saying it is counter-productive.
The mass killings of Armenians in Turkey in the World War--era
amounted to genocide. According to historians, more than million
Armenian Christians in Turkey were killed.
