A Foreign Ministry statement said yesterday that a resolution passed
by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee condemning the murder of
journalist Hrant Dink, who was convicted with "insulting Turkishness,"
a crime under controversial penal code Article 301, would not serve
anybody’s interests. The resolution reopened the question of whether
Congress should weigh in on the debate over the Armenian genocide
allegations. The Foreign Ministry also said that the resolution would
only help those who want to illicitly link the murder with the events
of 1915.
