Canada
(AFP) March 6, 2010 The Obama administration has said it will seek
to block a controversial bill describing as genocide the World War
I killing of Armenians by Turks.
A congressional panel on Thursday approved the resolution, paving
the way for a possible vote by the House.
But U.S .Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the administration
would "work very hard" to prevent this.
Turkey voiced strong protests after the vote and recalled its
ambassador from Washington for consultations.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country had been
accused of a crime it did not commit, adding the resolution would
harm Turkish-US relations.
