The American Congress Is Perturbing Relations Between Turks And Euro

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS IS PERTURBING RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKS AND EUROPEANS

Courrier International

The daily considers that "the angry reactions of Turks after the
resolution on the Armenian genocide adopted by an American Congress
commission on Wednesday, October 10th, show the scope of Ankara’s
susceptibility. This resolution has yet to be ratified in a plenary
session by the Chamber of representatives and, besides, the Bush
administration has already made it clear that it will not carry it
through. The limited knowledge the American Congress has of Turkey may
well weigh upon the country’s relationship with the European Union and
pointlessly question Ankara’s accession once again. This exaggerated
susceptibility cannot be a reason for the West to be silent on what
is considered by most historians to have been genocide. Above all,
Turkey should not stubbornly freeze and insist on halting the process
of historical introspection that it must go through."
