    CANCELLATION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION DISCUSSION IN U.S.
    CONGRESS - RESULT OF BRIBERY

    08.08.2005 03:45

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ In 2002 Turkish organizations and diplomats in the
    U.S. were going to grant $500 000 to Dennis Hastert, the Speaker of
    the U.S. House of Representative for preventing the discussion of the
    Armenian Genocide Resolution in the Congress, a FBI agent stated. As
    reported by U.S. media Sybil Edmonds, who was working as a FBI
    translator will publish in Vanity Fair September edition the
    translations of the records proving that Turkish organizations and
    Turkish Consulate in Chicago were going to allocate $500 000 for
    Hastert's election campaign. The collection of funds was to be
    carried out by way of small donations to avoid naming the real
    donator. The article to be published questions Hastert's receiving
    the sum. However some U.S. media verify that during the election
    campaign a great number of minor donations not demanding personal
    identification were made. In 2000 Mr. Hastert spoke out for the
    discussion of the Armenian Genocide resolution. However President
    Clinton called the Speaker and asked to recall the resolution
    motivating the request by the possible hardships in U.S. foreign
    relations. Afterwards Mr. Hastert recalled the resolution, RFE/RL
