Turkey warns US against 'genocide' bill in Congress

None

Turkey warned on Monday relations with its ally the United States would be damaged if a US congressional panel votes this week to label a World War One-era massacre of Armenians by Turkish forces as genocide.

 

The Armenian issue has poisoned ties between NATO member Turkey and the United States in the past. In 2007, Ankara recalled its ambassador to Washington for consultations after a US panel approved a similar bill. (Reuters)
