US Congress to recognize the Armenian Genocide

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul arrived on an official visit to Washington after the draft resolution on recognizing the Armenian Genocide with the aim to persuade US authorities not to pass the resolution. However, US Congress Chair Nancy Pelosi refused to have a meeting with him citing time constraints. While meeting US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,
the Turkish minister said that passing the resolution was not “a
political issue,” but could “pose threat” the Turkish-American
relations. “We cooperate in very complicated fields, fight side by side
against common problems. But if the Congress passes the resolution, it
would be a shock,” the Turkish minister said, assuring, however, that
they in Turkey are disclosing archives and examine the problem on their
own.
