"The logistic support to the U.S. soldiers in Iraq is carried out via Turkey. We need Turkey's support more than we did in the past and we should not lose Turkey," Robert Wexler, the co-chairman of the Turkish group of the Congress said. He stressed, "The USA did not even take the first step for keeping our promises to Turkey". Wexler noted that the Armenian Genocide bill will not be accepted in the U.S. Congress.
