    WASHINGTON LAWMAKERS WARN TURKEY OVER ISRAEL

    Washington lawmakers are warning they might formally recognize the
    Armenian genocide to punish Turkey for its treatment of Israel.

    A Congressional resolution recognizing the 1915-1923 massive slaughter
    of Armenians in eastern Anatolia by the Ottoman Turks passed the
    Foreign Affairs Committee by a lone vote in March.

    It will soon be brought before the full House of Representatives
    for a vote -- and lawmakers who previously have said they would not
    support the resolution are now hinting they might change their minds.

    Indiana's Republican Congressman Mike Pence told reporters on Wednesday
    there would be "a cost if Turkey stays on its present heading of
    growing closer to Iran and more antagonistic to the State of Israel. It
    will bear upon my view, and I believe of many members of Congress."
