"Both the House of Representatives and the Senate are headed by
democrats who used to support Armenians. Submission of the draft law
on so-called Armenian genocide to the House of Representatives was
always prevented.
But now the probability of its submission and approval is high.
Because, we are aware that the House of Representative and the Senate
promised Armenian lobby to consider the issue", former Turkish
ambassador to Azerbaijan and the USA, Eurasia Strategic Research
Center Chairman Faruk Logoglu told APA’s bureau.
He considered that the approval of the draft law on so-called
genocide is impossible as congressmen and senators do not want to harm
Turkish-US relations. Regarding year 2007 as an "intermediate year",
Faruk Logoglu said that 2008 will be more dangerous. As this is the
presidential election year in the USA, Armenians will try to obtain
candidates’ promises. So their chance to legitimate the "Armenian
genocide" will increase. He also pointed out the necessity for all
Turkish governmental organizations, Parliament, political parties
and NGOs to start fight to prevent the approval of the draft law in
the US Congress.
"Turkish delegations should be sent to the USA in order to deliver
truth to the congressmen. Because, they know the issue as Armenians
informed it. Our embassy in the USA will take appropriate steps and
we should join them", he said.
Faruk Logoglu also answered the question on how Azerbaijan and turkey
should join their forces.
"The governmental and non-governmental organizations should work in
coordination. The common target should be productive actions with
the US congressmen", he noted.
