Sabah, Turkey

The undersecretary of the US Embassy in Ankara, McEldowney stated
that there is a high possibility of the Armenian genocide bill being
approved by the House of Representatives, during a lunch she gave
to a group of members in the Motherland Party. The main issue at the
lunch was the Armenian bill planned to be discussed in the US House
of Representative in April. Members of the Motherland Party stated
that the reactions against the USA will rise up in the case the bill
is approved. McEldowney said: "this situation should not damage our
relationships because we are putting the necessary efforts forth
to eliminate the terrorist organization, the PKK. Some events will
happen in North Iraq very soon."
