Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul yesterday sent a letter to US Defense
Secretary Robert Gates arguing against passage of a resolution
backing the Armenian allegations concerning incidents in 1915. The
resolution is set to be debated tomorrow by a key committee of the
US House of Representatives. In the letter, Gonul stressed that the
resolution jeopardizes Turkish-US relations and could have a negative
impact if passed. "If that happens, it will be difficult to control
the reactions of the Turkish public." he warned. Gonul added that
passage of the resolution would not benefit either the Turkish or US
peoples.
