Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is reported to pay
a visit to the U.S. on April 14, will meet with representatives of
the Jewish lobby.
The parties scheduled meeting when Turkey's Ambassador Namik Tan and
representatives of the U.S.-located Jewish organisations ADL, AJC,
and AIPAC gathered together, 1NewsAgency reports citing Sabah paper.
The announced meeting is especially important as it comes to be held
before April 24, the mourning day for the Victims of the 1915 Genocide
of Armenian population of Turkey. Erdogan appears to have hoped to
receive support by the Jewish lobby.
In exchange for non-recognition of the 1915 Genocide, Turkey may make
concessions to the White House and provide the U.S. with an access to
the Turkish air bases, which are used to get supplies to U.S. troops
in Iraq.
In addition, Turkey is the U.S. ally in issues of stabilization of
situation in Afghanistan, Iran with its nuclear weapons work, and
establishment of relations with the Islamic world.
All these issues may fall short if the U.S. recognizes the Genocide
of Armenians.
