    PM Erdogan assured support by US Jewish leaders on Armenian question

    source: Hurriyet, 15 September 2005

    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the US for a United Nations
    (UN) backed summit of world leaders, met with high ranking members of
    the American Jewish community in the "Turkish House" in NYC.
    Representatives from the American Jewish Community, the
    Anti-Defamation League, and B'nai B'rith all came to speak with PM
    Erdogan at the Turkish House. PM Erdogan also met with Israeli PM
    Ariel Sharon in New York.

    PM Erdogan's spokesman, Akif Beki, told press members that Erdogan
    had requested support from members of the US Jewish community
    regarding the upcoming bill in the US House of Representatives which
    will deal with the recognition of the Armenian genocide. Beki noted
    that the US Jewish leaders had assured Erdogan that their backing of
    Turkey on the Armenian issue would continue into the future just as
    it had in the past.
