In his op-ed of Oct. 11 titled “Prospects for Turkish-U.S. ties not the best,” Semih İdiz, a fellow columnist for the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review, elaborated on how the Armenian issue has come to affect U.S.-Turkey relations.
According to İdiz, “the general belief in Washington, and particularly in the U.S. Congress, is that Turkey negotiated the Zurich Protocols with Armenia in bad faith, not to actually move ahead in terms of Turkish-Armenian ties, but to prevent President Obama from using the ‘G word’ in his annual April 24 message earlier this year.”"
