[quote=ZOEY,249878]Recently, US House Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee approved the resolution that the 1915 massacre of many Armenians done by Ottoman government Turks was a Race Genocide. At present, this resolution goes to the House floor, where representatives will hold a vote in the near future.

This move has really made Turkey angery. Turkey has said that resolution is an insult and will surely damage the bilateral ties. On Oct. 11, the Turkey said that they would recall its ambassador to US. Bush and the White House warned that this resolution would cause great harm to US ties with Turkey. However, the Foreign Affairs Committee still stuck to their stance.

Last year, French passed a resolution that rules any people who deny the Armanian Genocide whill be imprisoned for a year and fined about 56000 dollars. The Turkish learders denounced that it had greatly damaged French ties with Turley.

Why is Turkey too sensative on this issue? All previous governments deny that it is a genocide. This issue has been disputed for a long time. However, no agreement was made. Do you know Armenian massacre? What do you think of it?[/quote]
