Turkish Jews send letter on Armenian resolution

"Turkish Jews send letter on Armenian resolution

Jewish groups are relaying to the U.S. Congress a letter from the Turkish Jewish community advocating against a resolution that would commemorate the Armenian genocide.

The non-binding resolution, which is being pushed by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) -- a Jewish congressman with a substantial Armenian constituency -- is encountering fierce Turkish resistance. A delegation of top Turkish parliamentarians is meeting with top administration and congressional officials this week to warn that the resolution would harm Turkish-American relations."
