Armenian Genocide; Turkey-USA
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his congratulatory
message to Barack Obama expressed hope that Obama will stick to the
outgoing U.S. administration's policy on the subject that has avoided
the use of the word "genocide" with regard to the 1915 killings. "We
hope that some theses raised during the election campaign will stay
there [in the past] as campaign issues," Erdogan told reporters in
Ankara. "The relations between Turkey and America are determined not
by changing [U.S.] administrations but by the strategic nature of our
ties, which we believe will continue," he said, according to the AFP
news agency.
