/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The US Congress has refused to provide $1 billion
to Turkey to eliminate the consequences of the hostilities at the
Turkish-Iraqi border, the Armenian Assembly of America reported. The
Bush Administration had proposed providing assistance to Turkey after
the beginning of the military operations in Iraq and it depended upon
Turkey’s cooperation with the US in the Iraqi issue. However, due
Turkey failing to meet the terms of the agreement, in compliance with
a request of the Bush Administration the US Congress declared the
proposal on providing aid to Turkey void. As noted by the AAA, «as
the US-Turkey relations keep exacerbating, the US relations with
Armenia strengthen.» The fact that George Bush considers Armenia «an
important US partner» in fighting terror evidences it.
