ISTANBUL - Reaction in Turkey to the decision of the US House of
Representatives Committee on Foreign Relations to approve a resolution
accepting allegations that the Ottoman Empire committed an act of
genocide against its Armenian citizens is growing.
On Thursday, the Turkish Consumers' Union called for a boycott of
US-made products. Speaking on behalf of the group, the Union's
chairman Bulent Deniz said, "we decided not to use U.S.-made
products to protest the approval of the resolution by the House of
Representatives Committee".
Also on Thursday, members of the left wing Workers' Party laid
a black wreath in front of the US Embassy building in Ankara and
draw a crescent-and-star on its wall to protest the approval of
the resolution.
