US Congress mid term elections start today with the American citizens
to elect the entire staff of the House of Representatives (435)
and 37 Senators out of 100 Senate mandates.

tries to analyze how Republicans~R victory in these elections
can affect the future of the Armenian Genocide Relolution and the
Turkish-American relations.
~SUS President Barak Obaman~Rs Democratic Party currently hold
majority in both chambers of the Congress. But the results of the
exit polls conducted in the United States show that the Republicans
will defeat the Democrats in today~Rs midterm elections and will form
a majority both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate,~T
writes Turkish daily Gunes, adding that Republicans~R win would have
both positive and negative effects for Turkey.
~SShould the Republicans win a majority in the House of Representative
of the US Congress, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy
Pelocy, known for her anti-Turkish and pro-Armenian views, will in
all probability have to concede her place to pro-Turkish John Bohner,
which will be of significant importance for Turkey. During a 2007
voting on the Armenian Genocide resolution in Congress Bohner had
stated that the issue should not be discussed by political figures
in Washington, but rather by historians,~T writes the newspaper,
adding that though the Republicans attach far more importance to the
Iranian and Israeli issues.
~STherefore, Turkey may have new problems in case Republicans win,~T
adds the source.
