A hundred leading American businessmen have sent a letter to the US
President George Bush urging not to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

As the Turkish Daily News reports, the letter underlines that the
"recognition of the Genocide may become a disaster for the United
States". The message notes that "in case of the Armenian Genocide
recognition, the USA-Turkey commercial relations will suffer much". In
view of this, the businessmen consider a possibility of recognizing
the Armenian Genocide dangerous. Moreover, the businessmen are sure
that the Genocide recognition may become an obstacle for reconciliation
between Armenia and Turkey.
