    WHAT IS TURKEY AFRAID OF?

    "Is America trying to flatter Turkey, saying, 'look what we're
    doing for you,'" Kiro Manoyan said today while talking about the US
    government's struggle to make sure House Resolution No. 106 doesn't
    pass.

    In his words, the Bush administration is exerting great pressure
    against the passage of the resolution.

    He adds that they will increase their efforts when the voting
    draws nearer. "And all this pressure comes in spite of the fact the
    resolution isn't a document that carries legal weight," Manoyan noted,
    adding that only America flatters Turkey in this manner.

    Manoyan is sure that the resolution will pass when voted on by
    the US Congress because "there are enough votes to guarantee its
    passage." Besides that, House speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement
    backs that opinion. We remind that Pelosi stated the resolution would
    come to a vote by the end of November.

    But what has Turkey so troubled? About that, Manoyan's position is
    clear. "They are afraid we will then present our other demands, but
    besides that, they are afraid of what it will do to their image,"
    he said.
