/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During a meeting with US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice Thursday, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul
thanked his American counterpart for her efforts to impede the passage
of an Armenian Genocide resolution in Congress. At a press conference
following the meeting in Washington, Gul told the attendees that the
passage of a Genocide recognition resolution by Congress would greatly
hinder Turkish-American relations. "Turkey urges the US government
to continue its efforts to deter the Congress from recognizing the
Armenian Genocide and should take all steps to not allow such a
development," Gul said, reports AsbarezOnline.
