Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Buyukanit, currently in Rome as the
official guest of his Italian counterpart Gen. Giampaolo Di Paola,
said yesterday that Turkish-US military relations wouldn’t be the
same if the resolution on the Armenian allegations is passed by the
US Congress. Touching on the recent statements of Iraqi Vice President
Tariq al-Hashimi, he said, "Hashimi says he got what he wanted (during
his trip to Ankara this week), but I don’t know what he got. Did he
go shopping? What did he do, what did he buy?"
