"Fatih Altayli, editor-in-chief of Haberturk daily, was more sarcastic: "Soon, there will be no Turkish ambassadors left abroad and no foreign country our officials can visit." "

Armenian Genocide Resolution cannot be blocked: U.S. Department of State

09:25 / 03/18/2010The resolution on the recognition of Armenian Genocide adopted by U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs would go forward despite the position of Obama administration, U.S. Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon told the journalists, Associated Press reports.

He refuted any deal with congressional leaders to block the resolution.

“Congress is an independent body, and they are going to do what they decide to do,” Gordon emphasized in his speech at Brookings Institution.

Meanwhile, Gordon said the vote slowed down U.S.-Turkey relations at the time when the country is seeking assistance from Turkey to rein in Iran's nuke program. However, he added U.S. has not seen deterioration in cooperation with Turkey on a wide range of foreign policy issues.

According to him, the resolution is an obstacle for Turkey-Armenia normalization talks, however, the process did not come to a deadlock. “I really think the leaders of two states are determined to do this,” he underlined.

Obama administration thinks the historical issues are solved by two countries within the framework of reconciliation talks, Gordon outlined.

In his speech, Gordon called Turkey to exert pressure on Iran, considering Ankara a major trading partner. He criticized Turkey for not supporting the resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) demanding that Iran suspend construction of nuke facilities.

“While the international community has sought to present a single, coordinated stance to Iran, Turkey at times makes inconsistent statements,” Gordon noted.

Well now we know why the resolution is going to the floor for a vote-to pressure turckey on the iran issue. Its kind of strange how this is working- the armenian genocide is being used to isolate Armenia's only friendly neighbor (which is bad for Armenia).
