Erdogan warned that passing the resolution, although officially non-binding, would harm the strategic relations and partnership between Turkey and the United States.
Bush promised Erdogan that he would work decisively to prevent the bill passing.
In the phone call, “Bush reiterated his opposition to this resolution, the passage of which would be harmful to U.S. relations with Turkey,” said National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
Bush “believes that the determination of whether or not the events constitute genocide should be a matter for historical inquiry, not legislation,” Johndroe added.
Erdogan also called Bill Clinton for his support to stop passage of the bill.
According to media reports, the bill would be taken up by Congress’s Foreign Relations Committee on October 10. /APA/
