ANKARA SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO BUSH ADMINISTRATION FOR RESISTANCE TO CONGRESS ATTEMPTS TO CONDEMN TURKEY FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Turkey should be grateful to the US for the White House Administration resisting US Congress attempts "to condemn today's Turkey for Armenian Genocide in 1915", says Sick Man in Europe Again article in the Wall Street Journal. In the opinion of the article author, the 50-year-long relations between the NATO allies suffer from the availability of examples of national insanity in Turkey - in spite of official Washington putting forward provisions favorable for Turkey. These, besides the non-recognition of the Armenian Genocide, specifically include the Turkey impudent lobby for accession to the EU.
