"Genocide cannot be 'cancelled' by refusal to give it the proper name. Turkey is choking with indignation. A NATO ally in the Bosporus certainly plays an important strategic role in the U.S. military operations in Iraq. In addition, the U.S. and Turkey disagree on plans for Northern Iraq controlled by Kurds," Thuringer Allgemeine newspaper reported.

Meanwhile, General-Anzeiger reports that the U.S. seems to be ready to intimidate its ally. "It's time for Turkey to re-conceive mass killings of Armenians in Ottoman Empire. Just yesterday two Armenian journalists were convicted for "insulting Turkishness." However, cursing Turkey in a western parliament is a wrong way. Such decisions would strengthen positions of Turkish nationalists and it will be even harder to hold talks with them. The saddest point is that thinkers like Orhan Pamuk and certainly, the Armenian population of Turkey, will be endangered first of all," the article says, Deutsche Welle reports.
