American Turkish Society concerned about tension in US-Turkey
relations

New York: New York-based American Turkish Society (ATS) expressed
[on] Thursday [18 October] its concern over the tension in Turkey-USA
relations, following the adoption of the resolution regarding the
Armenian allegations on incidents of 1915 at the foreign affairs
committee of the US House of Representatives.

ATS declared in a statement that the geo-strategical partnership
between Turkey and USA would prove its strength in overcoming this
tension.

ATS also said the resolution harmed not only the long-standing
partnership between the two allies but also the efforts to reach a
compromise between Turkey and Armenia.

Such resolutions create discontent and mistrust towards USA within
the Turkish society, ATS statement noted.
