(euronew s) Thursday’s genocide vote in the US congress has produced
strong reactions from both Armenia and Turkey. Unsurprisingly, the
Armenians are happy at the outcome, while Turkey has recalled its US
ambassador.
Kenneth Khachikan, Chairman of the Armenian National Committee, said:
`Clearly the members of the committee were under incredible pressure
from the Turkish government, and even as late as last night,
apparently from the administration, to not do this. So we applaud the
bipartisan endorsement of what occurred, and we look forward to moving
this on the House floor.’
