/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Cinemas screening American films are closed in
Istanbul. To protest adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution
by the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee dozens of Macdonald's
employees did not appear at work.
Besides, Turkey threatens to restrict the U.S. use of Incirlik base
and seems to neglect Washington's warning against intrusion into
Northern Iraq.
An address of the Turkish authorities to the nation
was read in Istanbul streets. Speaking to CNN-Turk, PM
Erdogan said "the U.S. Congressmen are not entitled to rewrite
history." "Parliamentarians are called to normalize relations and care
about future but not past. Turkey has been a U.S. ally in the region
for 50 years. I do not see a reason for undermining these relations,"
he said.
Students and trade companies' employees are holding pickets at
the U.S. Consulate building in Ankara shouting out anti-American
slogans. Turkey is launching a campaign in "defense of national
dignity."
Protestors call to break off relations with the U.S., to boycott
American goods.
Turkish media reports that dozens of American toys, including Barbie
and Spiderman dolls, were burnt in a shop in southeast of the country,
the RFE/RL reports.
