SENSITIVE MESSAGE

Turkish Press
March 21 2005

MILLIYET- As April 24th is approaching, the Armenian groups in the
United States have increased their pressure on the Congress and the
White House for official recognition of the “genocide” allegations.
The United States has not officially recognized these allegations
yet. But, a different message has come from the administration this
year. U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz did not assure
Turkish parliamentarians who are currently in Washington that the
Armenian demands will be rejected. Wolfowitz gave a message saying,
“Ankara should take new steps so that the Congress can support Turkey
against Armenian theses.”
