WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Turkish
organizations of America called U.S. Congress for reconciling them
with Armenians. According to Aztag, the Turkish Alliance of America
and the Union of Associations of American Turks proposed Congress
persuading Armenians to reconcile with Turks instead of raising
historic issues. In their opinion, if Congressmen support the
"versions" of Armenians, the process of normalization of relations
between Armenia and Turkey can be endangered. "Our government in
Turkey has launched a historic reconciliation process with Armenians
but American Armenians continue their anti-Turkish activity. However,
the point is that a number of Congressmen also support the policy of
dual standards," Mehmet Ozgunar, a member of the Turkish diaspora in
Washington, reported. "Show your sincerety," they called Armenians.
