Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu again made threatening
statements on Armenian Genocide Resolution, included in the agenda
of U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Davutoglu told journalists that two different delegations arrived
in U.S. to present Turkey's further moves in case the resolution is
adopted, Turkish Aksam newspaper reports.
"We hope that the resolution will not pass and expect corresponding
message from the U.S. administration. If it is adopted by the
committee, it should be put to vote in the U.S. Congress. Such an
irritating decision for a country that made great efforts into the
establishment of peace in the world and region is unreasonable.
Everybody should know and take this into consideration. We hope that
Committee members will not make a blunder.
Before the decision making, it is essential that the members primarily
think over the U.S.-Turkey and Armenia-Turkey relations' prospects. No
need to test such issues.
Currently, Armenia-Turkey relations' normalization registered largest
cooperation ever in several courses. Bilateral relations achieved
the highest level within the recent year and the Protocols were signed.
Unfortunately, RA Constitutional Court made a decision, conflicting
with the letter and spirit of Armenia-Turkey Protocols. Submission of
such draft resolution is reasonless both politically and ethically. In
this situation Armenian resolution will damage the cooperation,"
Davutoglu said adding that exerting pressure on Turkey means having
poor knowledge on the matter.
March 4, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee will consider
Armenian Genocide Resolution.
