Support is falling for a US House of Representatives resolution
condemning the 1915 Armenian massacre. Its backers continue to
withdraw support even as Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan
visits Washington to meet Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
The resolution was approved by a House committee last week. However,
both Republicans and Democrats are worried about its impact on
relations with Turkey, which provides major logistic support to U.S.
troops in Iraq. Turkey has warned it would damage relations with the
United States. Voting on the resolution is expected in mid-November
when it goes to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
