TURKISH AUTHORITIES AND OPPOSITION TO JOINTLY STRUGGLE AGAINST BILL ON
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN U.S. CONGRESS

ANKARA, JANUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Turkish
Republican-People’s opposition and Justice and Development ruling
parties that never reach an agreement on any issue, henceforth will
jointly struggle against adoption of the bill on Armenian Genocide in
U.S. Congress.

For this purpose, on January 18, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul
met with Republican-People’s Party Vice-Chairman, Onur Eoymen and
Vice-Chairman of party’s parliamentary faction, Ali Topuz. The meeting
participants made a decision to jointly struggle against possible
ratification of the Armenian bill in the U.S. legislative body.

According to the Turkie daily, five pro-governmental and opposition
deputies from Turkish Grand National Assembly Foreign Relations
Committee will leave for Washington one of these days, where they will
have meetings with members of Congress House of Representatives and
Senate.

Another parliamentary delegation will leave for Washington for the
purpose of carrying on a propaganda against the Armenian bill.
