With already-troubled Turkey-U.S. ties further challenged by NATO
plans for a missile defense system, Washington is now attempting to
use one of the touchiest issues in the two countries' relationship
to gain Turkish cooperation.
Frustrated by the growing divergence of views, the United States
has warned Turkey that it will not be able to block the adoption by
the U.S. Congress of a resolution on Armenian Genocide, the Hurriyet
Daily News & Economic Review has learned.
In official talks with Turkish authorities, U.S. officials said
Ankara's policies on Iran, tensions with Israel and position on the
anti-missile system would determine the course of Turkish-American
relations and be a test case for how Turkey wants to position itself
going forward. Unless there is some improvement in these three areas,
Washington made clear through diplomatic channels, Turkey should not
be surprised to see a resolution recognizing Armenian Genocide pass
before the end of the year.
