U.S. Armenian resolution "indigestible" to Turkey

PanARMENIAN.Net - It will be difficult for Turkey to "digest" the U.S. Congress resolution on the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish Prime Minister's foreign policy advisor stated. Justice and Development Party (AK Party) deputy Egemen Bağış said at a time when Turkey and the U.S. have numerous joint projects going on, including Iraq's reconstruction, the resolution's passage would be unacceptable for the Turkish public.



The next Turkish delegation is leaving this weekend for the United States with a group of legislators to lobby in Washington against the resolution on the 1915 Armenian Genocide. "This resolution would be like adding insult to injury. It would make things more complicated. This is not a threat. It would put the government in an awkward situation," he noted, Today's Zaman reports.
