October 15, 2007 — ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey’s military chief said
yesterday that if Congress approves a resolution branding the 1915
killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide, ties between the
NATO allies would never be the same again.

Ankara is a critical ally for Washington, because of its border
with Iraq. Some analysts believe the vote could weaken Washington’s
influence over Turkey and result in a Turkish incursion into northern
Iraq to crush Kurdish rebels using the territory as a base.
