Foreign Minister has again warned the US that a resolution before
Congress recognising the so-called Armenian genocide would damage
Turkish-US relations if passed.
In Washington for talks with senior US officials, Foreign
Minister Abdullah Gul met with John Murtha, the chairman of defence
sub-committee of the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee,
and House majority leader, Congressman Steny Hoyer late Wednesday
Turkish time.
During both meetings Gul said that the resolution tabled before the
US House of Representatives constitutes a threat to relations between
the two countries.
Gul later held talks with Congressman Robert Wexler, co-chairman of
the Turkish- American Friendship Group Tom Lantos, the chairman of
the House Committee on Foreign Relations, and Congressman Roy Blunt.
