According to reports in many Turkish dailies, the Turkish Jewish
Community placed ads today in Washington's two major newspapers, The
Washington Post and Washington Times, calling on the Congress members
to reject the controversial Armenian "Genocide" Resolution (HR106).
The ad calls on Congress not to legislate on historical events on
which respected historians are divided and asks the matter to be
settled by historians, based on honest and careful examination of
facts. Turkey's Jewish community warns about the long term negative
impact such political decision would have on the relations of the
U.S. with Turkey, an indispensable ally and world's most democratic
country with Muslim majority.
The House Committee on Foreign Relations is set to vote on the
controversial resolution today.
