FINANCIAL TIMES: US CONGRESS ACTIONS WILL NOT BRING JUSTICE TO THE ARMENIANS

Hurriyet, Turkey
Oct 15 2007

The British Financial Times newspaper has addressed the controversial
Armenian bill about to face a vote in the US House of Representatives,
noting "The gesture-based politics of the US Congress are not going
to bring justice to the Armenians." An article in today’s Financial
Times also warned of the implications for the passage of the Armenian
bill on Turkish-US relations, noting that the allies could experience
much greater discord than they ever did before if the US House of
Representatives accepts the Armenian bill.

Also noted in the Financial Times article on the matter was that
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has a significant number of
ethnically Armenian voters in her district, and that she had all but
"pushed aside" a letter written by 8 former Secretaries of State
warning and calling for prudence on the question of the bill.
