/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Unfortunately, the bill on an alleged genocide
was introduced in the U.S. Congress under pressure of the Armenian
lobby. Though President Bush opposes resolution, the Congress is
likely to pass it," said Onur Oymen, the deputy chairman of the
Turkish Opposition Republican People's Party (CHP).
"Passage of he document will damage the Turkish-American relations,"
he said.
"It will also lead to deterioration of the Turkish-Armenian
relations. So, we expect the U.S. government to block the
resolution. Otherwise Turkey will take measure and everyone will feel
the harm," he said.
"The ruling AKP can't prevent the Congress from adopting the
H.Res.106," he added.
"We must invite U.S. Congressmen to Turkey and furnish our
arguments. The U.S. troops in Iraq receive armament and provisions
through Turkey. Most of Armenia's export goes via Turkey as well. There
are possibilities to block the resolution, but Turkey failed to
develop the issue properly," he said, APA reports.
The U.S. House of Representatives will hold a vote on the Armenian
Genocide resolution October 10.
