Hürriyet - Washington Post article underscores contradictions in US vote on Armenian claims

"Washington Post article underscores contradictions in US vote on Armenian claims

A recent article in the Washington Post newspaper has called on Turkey not to take seriously the US Congressional vote on the non-binding resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide bill.

Post writer Jackson Diehl asserts that Turkey's behavior regarding the controversial bill should be 'like one of the Western democracies,' and that Turkey should simply 'shrug its shoulders' and move on with regards to the bill. Diehl also notes in his article that no one much will place importance on the non-binding Armenian bill, pointing to another non-binding resolution passed by the House of Representatives against the Iraq war as an example."
