US President George W. Bush has no plan to intervene with the top
House of Representatives lawmaker to urge her not to bring to a vote
a planned resolution to declare World-War I-era mass killings of
Armenians a genocide, a spokesman said Monday.
The Bush administration has been lobbying intensely to persuade
lawmakers to reject the resolution, which Bush believes would harm
relations with Turkey. Turkey has said as much, promising that the
document's passage by the full House would cause severe damage to
relations.
"There should be no question of the president's views on this issue
and the damage that this resolution could do to U.S. foreign policy
interests," White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto told
reporters Monday aboard Air Force One.
