WASHINGTON, MARCH 14, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. U.S. Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defence Robert Gates
sent a letter to the Congress House of Representatives in which
they warned about possible "serious consequences" of adoption of the
resolution guaranteeing recognition of the Armenian Genocide. "The
resolution adoption will harm the American-Turkish relations, and
the U.S. interests will be damaged," is said in the letter.
As the Turkish "Hurriyet" daily states, the letter was addressed to
Nancy Pelosi, the democrat speaker of the House of Representatives,
John Boehner, the head of the Republican party making minority at the
Congress as well as to Tom Lantos, the Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
