Washington - APA. Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said the passage
of the resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide in the US Senate
would damage the country's foreign policy.
APA reports that answering the letter sent through US Azeris Network,
the senator noted that the passage of S.RES.106 would damage United
States-Turkish relations and possibly harm U.S. interests in the
Middle East and Central Asia.
"Such a resolution will not advance the Turkish-Armenian dialogue
and it will not improve the process of Turkey's examination of its
own past. The United States-Turkish relationship is both deep and
broad. Turkey is a strategic partner with the United States in a number
of significant areas, including the War on Terror and the United States
' involvement in Iraq. Our friendship with Turkey goes back a very
long way and we must continue to work together on issues of importance.
In response to the appeals of the US Armenian community for recognition
of the so-called Armenian genocide to the White House, Azerbaijani
and Turkish communities of the US have also begun counterpropaganda
among the White House officials, Congressmen and public. Letters about
the real essence of the 1915 happenings are sent to the US officials
through US Azeris Network.
