BAKU: Recognizing ‘Armenian Genocide’ May Damage U.S.-Turkish Relati

RECOGNIZING ‘ARMENIAN GENOCIDE’ MAY DAMAGE U.S.-TURKISH RELATIONS: TURKISH PRESIDENT

If the U.S. Congress discusses a bill to recognize the "Armenian
Genocide," U.S.-Turkish relations may suffer, Turkish President
Abdullah Gul said.

"Discussing a bill on the ‘genocide’ may damage
Turkish-U.S. relations," the Turkish Yeni Safak newspaper wrote,
citing Gul.

The Turkish president expressed his opinion at a meeting with Deputy
Parliamentary Speaker at the U.S. Senate, Senator Richard Durbin.

Gul said the bill may damage the process of normalizing relations
between Turkey and Armenia.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the Ottoman Empire, Turkey’s
predecessor, committed genocide against ethnic Armenians in Anatolia
in 1915.

The Armenian lobby is expected to strengthen their activities to
recognize the event in parliaments around the world in light of the
anniversary of the alleged genocide this April.

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
