WASHINGTON D.C. - Alan Makovsky, an aide to U.S. Democratic congressman Tom Lantos, has stated that Turkey and the United States always need each other and that a consultancy mechanism between the two countries should be established to help the situation in Iraq.
''Problems in Iraq are not likely to end soon. Turkey and the U.S. must continue to cooperate in finding a lasting solution in Iraq. Both Turkish and American nations have always had good relations... Despite ups and downs, Turkey and the U.S. friendship is based on strong historical ties,'' told Makovsky.
Makovsky stressed that the Bush administration will not support an Armenian resolution that may come to the U.S. Congress next month. ''Turks have a long history and they are a very proud nation globally. President Bush will not support any resolution that will make the Turks comparable to Hitler's Germany.''
