Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told US President
George W. Bush that ties between the two countries will be hurt if
the US Congress passes a bill on the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish
Daily News reports.

Erdogan, who issued a similar warning earlier this year, made the
comment in a telephone call to Bush, Turkish media report. Erdogan
also called Israeli President Shimon Peres to secure Israel’s support
for Turkey’s position. Peres, in return, reiterated that Israel
will continue to support Turkey’s position, according to the news
channel NTV.

In a letter sent to members of the United States House of
Representatives, chairman of the American-Turkish Council, retired
US General Brent Scowcroft warned against the ramifications of a
possible approval of the Armenian Genocide bill by the US Congress.

Scowcroft warned that the US could risk losing a significant part of
its trade with Turkey if the resolution passes.

Let us remind that the House Foreign Affairs Committee is set to
consider the Armenian Genocide Resolution on October 10th. Committee
discussion and adoption of the resolution will set the stage for
subsequent full House consideration of the key human rights measure.

The resolution is cosponsored by 226 Members of Congress from 39
states.

Emil Lazarian: “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
