US STATE DEPARTMENT DECLINED REQUEST OF ARMENIANS

The State Department of the United States of America has rejected the letter of the Armenian lobby sent to President Georges Bush with the purpose to prevent participation of Turkish soldier in peace-making forces of the United Nations in Lebanon.

The assistant to the press secretary of the State Department Tom Keisy has informed in this connection, that the letter signed by chairman of National Committee of the American Armenians by Ken Khachikian, President Bush did not read at all.

Noting that the question connected with peace-making forces which will be directed to Lebanon, has been discussed in New York, in headquarters of the United Nations, Mr. Tom Keisy said the government of the USA stands for participation in these discussions of all countries which wish to be in staff of peacemakers, including Turkey.

To note, in the letter of Armenians, it was stated that sending of Turkish armies to Lebanon contradicts interests of the United States.
