In the wake of Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul’s grounding due to
ear problems, other Foreign Ministry diplomats flew this week to
Washington. The high-level diplomats will attend an American-Turkish
Business Council (ATC) meeting, hold contacts at the US State
Department and meet with representatives of the Jewish lobby. During
the meetings, the so-called genocide allegations set to be considered
by Congress in the runup to April 24 will be discussed, along with
Iraq, the terrorist PKK and the Armenian lobby.
