/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It is expected that Turkish Chief of Staff General
Yasar Buyukanit during his official visit to the United States will
meet with U.S. Congress Committee on Foreign Relations head Tom
Lantos. The focus of this meeting will be the Armenian Genocide bill
introduced in the Congress. It is anticipated that Buyukanit will
stress to Lantos that the possible acceptance by the U.S. Congress
of this bill could have a serious impact on relations between Turkey
and the U.S., including logistical support which has been extended
thus far by Turkey to U.S. forces fighting in Iraq, Hurriyet reports.
