Bagis said yesterday should the US House of Representatives pass the
Armenian resolution, Turkish-US ties will be damaged and Armenia's
hopes of opening to the West may fade. A delegation of Turkish
lawmakers, including Bagis, is continuing contacts with their American
counterparts to convince them to oppose the resolution.
Speaking to reporters, Bagis said that the group would have a series
of meetings under the authority given it by the Turkish Parliament
and people to prevent the US Congress from making a historic mistake.
In related news, the delegation yesterday met with press
representatives, attended a Turkish-American Council meeting and
spoke with Jewish groups.
