Sen. Joe Biden, Democratic presidential contender Sen. Barack Obama's
choice for vice presidency, during his 35 years in the U.S. Senate
has almost constantly voted for or joined initiatives against Turkey's
interests. It is reported by "Turkish Daily News".
Like Obama, Biden is a staunch supporter of the Armenian cause. The
two men both back last year's draft resolution in the Senate calling
for the United States' official recognition of World War I-era killings
of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as "genocide".
Biden, 65, was close to and influenced by former Democratic
Sen. Paul Sarbanes, who is of ethnic Greek origin, and has adopted
an anti-Turkish position on several disputes with Greece and Greek
Cypriots.
Over the past 15 years, Biden has also worked against a number of
planned U.S. arms transfers to Turkey.
Note, Barak Obama has announced that after the election he will adopt
the article, on World War I-era killings of Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire as "genocide".
