U.S. Pushes Turkey for Relations With Armenia

This is something I didn't see coming.

"The issue of trying to use the tragedy of Hrant Dink’s murder to improve relations with Armenia is a major focus of our relationship with Turkey right now," Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza told RFE/RL.

"We want a real discussion so no one can deny what happened [in Ottoman Turkey,] while at the same time improving bilateral relations between Armenia and Turkey,” he said in a phone interview. “All of that should happen without preconditions by anybody."

Of course, Turkey will have none of that. Still, I have high hopes for the Genocide Resolution. It is very sad that Hrant Dink's murder can be used politically, but Turkey's initial reaction was obviously not indicative of their true motives.
