ISTANBUL – Foreign Minister Ali Babacan has warned Barack Obama’s
incoming administration that any US recognition of the Armenian
claims of genocide could derail reconciliation efforts between the
two neighbors.
"It would not be very rational for a third country to take a position
on this issue… A wrong step by the United States will harm the
process," the Anatolia news agency quoted Babacan as saying late
Friday.
