11:43 . 24/07
The US House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee voted down
a pro-Turkish bill, which would create special trade preferences for
Turkey in the trade with American native tribes, the Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA) reported.
Before putting the bill to vote, ANCA had expressed its complaint
against Draft Law 2362, taking into consideration several criteria,
including the following factors:
- -The U.S. Congress should not extend special economic benefits
to a country that remains an unrepentant perpetrator of genocide
against millions of its own indigenous minorities, including Armenians,
Greeks, Assyrians, and others.
- The U.S. Congress should not be providing trade preferences
to Turkey, a country that has been blockading landlocked Armenia for
nearly twenty years, a country that threatens Cyprus, is in conflict
with Israel, attacks its Kurdish population, as well as endangers
America's regional priorities more and more.
- The U.S. Congress should not take the risk violating the other
trade agreements of the US and should grant Turkey a leading position
as compared to other countries, which are reliable and faithful allies
of the United States.
