Turkish Ambassador in Washington, D.C. Namik Tan said on Thursday that
he considered that Armenians would not achieve anything regarding
Congressman Adam Schiff’s initiative. When he was reminded that
Schiff called survivors of 1915 incidents to submit their stories
for inclusion into the Congressional Record and asked if Turkey had
an initiative against it, Tan said, "we left behind a very sensitive
period regarding Armenians. They regarded it as a big defeat. They will
exert such efforts. But I think that they will not achieve anything."
"If such stories are included in the Congressional Record, we will
document more stories and put them in the record. I don’t have any
concern on the matter," TURKISHNY cited Tan as saying.
