/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish President Abdullah Gul said he has nothing
to discuss with his US counterpart Barack Obama regarding the Armenian
Genocide.
"We have already discussed everything in detail. We demonstrated good
will in a number of aspects. The situation in the Caucasus is obvious.
What else do I have to discuss," Hurriyet quoted Gul as saying.
The adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.252, by the
US House panel will damage the Armenian-Turkish dialogue, according
to him.
"We are a part of Caucasus and the current situation is disadvantageous
for Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Ankara, for its part, will do
its possible to establish peace in our region," Gul said.
The Armenian Genocide resolution (H.Res. 106) was submitted to the
House of Representatives by Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), on
January 30, 2007, during the 110th United States Congress. It was
a non-binding resolution calling upon the US President to ensure
that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate
understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human
rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States
record relating to the Armenian Genocide, and for other purposes. Upon
its introduction it was referred to United States House Committee
on Foreign Affairs where it passed a 27-21 vote and was sent back
for a full house vote. On October 26, 2007, in a letter addressed
to the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, four key sponsors of the bill,
requested a debate on the bill in full House to be postponed.
Another resolution affirming the U.S. record on the Armenian
Genocide (H.Res.252) was formally introduced in the U.S. House of
Representatives by Reps. Adam Schiff (D.-CA), George Radanovich
(R.-CA), Frank Pallone, Jr. (D.-NJ), and Mark Kirk (R.-Ill) in 2009.
It currently has 137 co-sponsors. On March 4, the resolution was
passed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee with a vote 23-22.
