ArmInfo. The U.S. secretary of defense said on Saturday that the
United States very strongly felt that the resolution on the Armenian
allegations regarding incidents of 1915 a mistake.
Secretary Robert Gates said a resolution of that kind could be very
damaging to the U.S.-Turkish relations.
"We certainly hope that the Congress and the House of Representatives
take this measure no further," Gates told an interview with al-Arabia
TV channel, Anadolu Agency reported.
Gates said he was worried about the resolution, and he would say that
it was just one committee of the House of Representatives that voted
that resolution.
"Turkey and Armenia are making progress toward a reconciliation,"
Gates said.
Gates said protocols had been drafted along those lines, adding that
that was the process that the United States thought ought to be used.
The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs approved
the resolution on Armenian allegations on March 4.
