Parliament Speaker Koksal Toptan yesterday sent a letter to Nancy
Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, on a resolution
now pending which would lend support to the Armenian "genocide"
allegations. "Passage of an Armenian resolution in regard to the
incidents of 1915 by the United States House of Representatives would
serve the interests of neither the Turkish nor the American people,"
wrote Toptan. "Furthermore, the resolution would hurt Turkish-US
relations and have a negative impact on the normalization of relations
between Turkey and Armenia." The resolution is scheduled for a vote
before a key House committee on Wednesday.
