YEREVAN (A.W.)—On March 5, Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian issued a brief statement welcoming the House Committee vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
“We highly appreciate the decision by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives to adopt Resolution 252 on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide,” the statement read. “This is another proof of the devotion of the American people to universal human values and is an important step toward the prevention of the crimes against humanity.”
Turkey condemns vote, recalls ambassador
Turkey, however, recalled its ambassador to the U.S. for consultations following the vote minutes after the U.S. congressional panel approved the resolution on March 4.
“Our ambassador to Washington Namik Tan was recalled tonight to Ankara for consultations after the development,” said a statement issued by the Turkish prime minister’s office. “We condemn this resolution accusing Turkey of a crime that it has not committed.”
If the U.S. gov’t. cut he purse strings to Turkey, and published the names of the U.S. congressional members on the Turkish payroll{money from lobbyist}. Then we the American citizens might get a just and honest vote. It was said many years ago and is more obvious each and every day that we have the best government that MONEY CAN BUY!!!!
Question; When the U.S. asked Turkey [our big ally}, for permission to send troops thru Turkey into western Iraq, and Turkey refused. HOW MANY AMERICAN LIVES DID THAT COST????
Not only that, Turkey asked for over $40 billion dollars in bribes to allow passage. Typical Levantine behavior
