Turkey on Thursday asked its ambassador in Washington to return to
Turkey for consultations over a US congressional panel’s decision to
approve a bill labeling the World War I-era killings of Armenians as
genocide, an official said.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Levent Bilman said ambassador Nabi Sensoy
would stay in Turkey a week or 10 days for discussions regarding
the vote, which came despite warnings by Turkish officials and US
President George W. Bush’s administration that the bill could harm
US-Turkish relations.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
