TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTER DAVUTOGLU DISCUSSES ARMENIAN RESOLUTION WITH KERRY
21:19 10.04.2014
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held a phone conversation with U.S.
Secretary General John Kerry late April 9, discussing the recent
Armenian draft resolutions that were submitted to the U.S. Senate
and House of Representatives, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
"We don't have a negative expectation [for the outcome of the draft
resolution]," Davutoglu told reporters in Ankara on April 10, adding
that the two had also discussed developments in Syria and Egypt.
The Turkish government is taking measures against "initiatives that
will bother Turkey. We hope they will not take such an attitude,"
he also said.
Last week, four U.S. Congressmen introduced a resolution calling
on U.S. President Barack Obama to encourage a Turkish-Armenian
relationship based on Turkey's acknowledgement that the 1915-16
killings of Armenians by Ottoman forces constituted genocide. The move
was paralleled by a resolution introduced to the U.S. Senate by Foreign
Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez and Senator Mark Kirk.
