Turkey, which is a key supply route to U.S. troops in Iraq, recalled its ambassador to Washington on Thursday and warned of serious repercussions if Congress labels the killing of Armenians by Turks a century ago as genocide.
Ordered after a House committee endorsed the genocide measure, the summons of the ambassador for consultations was a further sign of the deteriorating relations between two longtime allies and the potential for new turmoil in an already troubled region.
As if we don’t have enough problems in that region of the world. After we spit in the eye of the turks, let’s thing of some way to insult Jordan as well. It’s despicable that Congress is literally creating a serious problem for us out of thin air instead of just dropping the issue.
