GEN. SAYGUN: `TURKEY HAS DONE ITS BEST TO PREVENT PASSAGE OF THE
ARMENIAN RESOLUTION’
In Washington yesterday, Deputy Chief of General Staff Gen. Ergin
Saygun said that Turkey has done its utmost to prevent passage of the
Armenian resolution in the US House of Representatives. Attending the
26th Annual Conference on Turkish-US Relations, Saygun told reporters
that Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Buyukanit had also exerted
great efforts against the resolution during his recent talks with
officials in Washington. Saygun also pointed to Ankara’s concerns
about how European Union member states deal with terrorist PKK
militants in their borders. He said that PKK supporters were acting
freely in European countries and were engaged drug and weapons
trafficking. /Turkiye/
