Faruk Logoglu: "Turkey and Azerbaijan should start joint fight against Armenian lies"

"But now the probability of its submission and approval is high. Because, we are aware that the House of Representative and the Senate promised Armenian lobby to consider the issue," former Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan and the USA, Eurasia Strategic Research Center Chairman Faruk Logoglu told APA's bureau.

He considered that the approval of the draft law on so-called genocide is impossible as congressmen and senators do not want to harm Turkish-US relations.

Regarding year 2007 as an 'intermediate year', Faruk Logoglu said that 2008 will be more dangerous.

As this is the presidential election year in the USA, Armenians will try to obtain candidates' promises. So their chance to legitimate the "Armenian genocide" will increase.

He also pointed out the necessity for all Turkish governmental organizations, Parliament, political parties and NGOs to start fight to prevent the approval of the draft law in the US Congress.

"Turkish delegations should be sent to the US in order to deliver truth to the congressmen. Because, they know the issue as Armenians informed it. Our embassy in the US will take appropriate steps and we should join them," he said.

Faruk Logoglu also answered the question on how Azerbaijan and turkey should join their forces.

"The governmental and non-governmental organizations should work in coordination. The common target should be productive actions with the US congressmen," he noted.
