/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During the 26th annual summit of Turkish
and U.S. government and military officials and businessmen the
issue of recognizing the Armenian Genocide by the Congress was
discussed. Turkish Daily News reports that one more subject
of discussion became the possible adoption of a resolution
condemning the murder of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in
January. "Everything has been said. I hope it (Armenian Genocide
Resolution) doesn't pass," said General Ergin Saygun, deputy chief
of the Turkish General Staff, at a Sunday reception at the Turkish
Embassy in Washington. The newspaper notes that even if the Armenian
Genocide Resolution is passed the U.S. stance towards Turkey will not
change. "The U.S. policy will not change regardless of what Congress
does on this issue. We would like to see the resolution not pass,"
U.S. Ambassador to Ankara Ross Wilson stated. Turkish Daily News also
notes that Turkish Economy Minister Ali Babacan and head of Microsoft
Corporation Bill Gates were present at the conference.
