/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Although the Turkey-US relations face the question
of the future of Iraq, Turkish Radical newspaper considers that the
upcoming discussions of the Armenian Genocide issue lay in the core
of these relations. According to the newspaper, participation of
the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in the high-level meetings between
Turkish and American authorities is no more significant. Instead,
the main topics of these meetings are Iraq, Iran and especially the
possible recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the U.S. Congress. The
newspaper wrote that if before U.S. President George Bush managed to
convince the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives not
to hold discussions on the Armenian Genocide, then after the victory
of Democrats House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will hardly yield to Bush
pressures. Therefore, the possibility of adoption of an Armenian bill
by the House is extremely high. The US Government is still considering
Turkey's steps in case of recognition of the Armenian Genocide and
is calculating the damage to U.S. interests, reports Yerkir.
