US President George W. Bush has no plan to intervene with the top
House of Representatives lawmaker to urge her not to bring to a vote
a planned resolution to declare World-War I-era mass killings of
Armenians a genocide, a spokesman said Monday.

The Bush administration has been lobbying intensely to persuade
lawmakers to reject the resolution, which Bush believes would harm
relations with Turkey. Turkey has said as much, promising that the
document’s passage by the full House would cause severe damage to
relations.

"There should be no question of the president’s views on this issue
and the damage that this resolution could do to U.S. foreign policy
interests," White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto told
reporters Monday aboard Air Force One.

“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
