Turkey Signed Protocols Not with Armenia, But with U.S., Says Analyst

Neither Armenia nor Turkey is prepared to continue the already-begun process, said political analyst Igor Muradyan, while speaking with journalists today.

In Muradyan’s words, the Protocols in Zurich were signed not between Armenia and Turkey, but between the U.S. and Turkey. According to the analyst, the process of establishing relations between Armenia and Turkey is not possible “without outside support.”

Muradyan noted that the U.S. is no longer capable of supporting the process. “Our region is closely connected with the U.S. strategy carried out in Central Asia. Under those conditions, when the movers and shakers and leadership of the U.S. have lost themselves, and relations between NATO and Europe, in turn, take on an incomprehensible character, the Caucasus will become a less important region for the U.S.,” highlighted the analyst.

“It turns out that, holding their hands, they brought Armenia and Turkey to the negotiating table and left them their alone,” said Muradyan, adding that Turkey is not receiving enough pressure from the U.S. “But in this case, Turkey’s aim is to bring about its international independence, since Turkey doesn’t intend to surrender to U.S.’s control,” announced Muradyan.

“This is the main situation of Armenian-Turkish negotiations,” added the analyst.

Davutoglu Reveals Ankara’s Steps if Obama Uses The Term Genocide

March 10, 2010

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had a meeting with Turkish Ambassador to the US Namik Tan, who was recalled to Ankara following the endorsement of the Armenian Genocide Resolution by the US House Foreign Relations Committee.

According to the Turkish Stargazete, Davutoglu-Tan discussed Ankara’s further steps providing US President Barack Obama uses “Genocide” in his April 24 speech.

Thus, providing Obama uses “Genocide”, Ankara will freeze $1,2 billion deal on F-35 fighter jet and 14 CH-47 Chinook helicopter, as well as Patriot Missile sale talks. Ankara will also limit the support to the US over Iran and Afghanistan.

Turkey Urges Obama To Block Armenian Genocide Bill

March 5, 2010

Just hours after recalling its ambassador to Washington, Turkey urged the U.S. government on Friday to thwart further progress of a draft congressional resolution that describes the mass killings and deportations of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also warned President Barack Obama against using the word “genocide” in a statement on the issue expected next month. “We expect Obama not to perpetuate or exaggerate this crisis in April,” Davutoglu was reported to say, reiterating Ankara’s strong condemnation of the resolution’s approval by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, indicated that the Obama administration will try to block the resolution’s passage by the full House. In that regard, she downplayed its endorsement by the House panel.  Read more... (612 words)

Azerbaijan May Recall its Ambassador From Washington

March 5, 2010

The Azerbaijani Presidential Administration categorically condemned the adoption of the resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide by the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.

Such step by the U.S congressmen is mistaken and unfair, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Socio-Political Department Head Ali Hasanov told reporters.

Hasanov said the Azerbaijani government condemns this step by the U.S. congressmen, and brings to attention that this decision was unilateral, unjust, pro-Armenian and anti-Turk in spirit. “We believe this decision also does not correlate strongly with the interests of the United States and the American people, and seriously damages the international image of this country,” he said.  Read more...

Hillary Clinton Says HR252 Affirming The Armenian Genocide Should Not Proceed

March 5, 2010

Immediately following Thursday’s dramatic House Foreign Affairs Committee vote approving House Resolution 252 affirming the Armenian Genocide, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the resolution should go no further.

While on a tour of Latin America, Clinton said from Costa Rica that the Obama administration has made its intentions clear:

“We do not believe that the full Congress will or should vote on that resolution and we have made that clear to all the parties involved,” Clinton said.

A day earlier, prior to the Committee vote, Clinton had urged Committee Chairman Howard Berman – a 27-year veteran congressman from California – not to bring the resolution to a vote, as had been scheduled since last month. Berman (a cosponsor of HR252), denied the Secretary’s appeal, leading to the narrow (23-22) approval.  Read more... (402 words)

US Aerospace and Defense Industry Say Armenian Genocide Resolution Would Hurt Trade With Turkey

March 4, 2010

The US aerospace and defence industry is urging House of Representatives lawmakers to reject a measure that would call a World War One-era massacre of Armenians by Turkish forces genocide, warning it could jeopardize US exports to Turkey.

The chief executives of Lockheed Martin Corp, Boeing Co, Raytheon Co, United Technologies Corp and Northrop Grumman Corp issued a rare joint letter, warning that passage of the measure by the House Foreign Affairs Committee could lead to “a rupture in U.S.-Turkey relations” and put American jobs at risk.

“Alienating a significant NATO ally and trading partner would have negative repercussions for US geopolitical interests and efforts to boost both exports and employments,” the CEOs warned in a Feb. 26 letter to the committee’s Democratic chairman, Representative Howard Berman.  Read more...
