    TURKEY OF GREAT GEOPOLITICAL IMPORTANCE FOR US - STRATFOR

    The voting of the committee on foreign relations was not obligatory
    measure and this bill will be sent to House of Representatives for
    consideration.

    Such resolutions are adopted in such committees of the Congress
    every year, but the resolution must first pass in the House
    of Representatives. But as is known, Obama's administration has
    pledged to prevent the consideration of this issue in the House of
    Representatives of the US Congress, Eugeny Chausov, analyst of the
    US Stratfor analytical center (www.stratfor.com), said.

    He considers that the resolution of the committee is an extremely
    politicized problem.

    "Turkish FM Agmet Davutoglu said the voting will harm relations between
    Turkey and the United States and Ankara recalled its ambassador when
    the decision was adopted in the committee.

    Turkey is of a great geopolitical importance for the United States.

    Ankara can influence key issues such as war in Iraq and the issue of
    emerging Russia. However, though the decision is naturally harmful for
    the current political situation between Turkey and the United States
    but it is not likely to damage the strategic relations between the
    two countries.

    Azerbaijan has supported Turkey condemning the voting and, by the
    irony of fate, Baku may ultimately benefit from the decision since
    voting affects the normalization of relations between Turkey and
    Armenia, the ratification of protocols that have not been ratified
    by the parliaments of the two countries yet. Though there are serious
    complications on the protocols, such issues as the Azerbaijani demands
    on Nagorno Karabakh and recognition of "genocide" make the ratification
    of the protocols by Turkey highly unlikely" - said Eugeny Chausov.
