A U.S. congressional panel has approved a resolution declaring that the killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I was genocide.
In Turkey, the government said it was recalling its ambassador
from Washington in response.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee endorsed the resolution with
a 23-22 vote Thursday, even though the Obama Administration had
urged Congress not to offend Turkey by approving it.
The resolution now goes to the full House, where prospects for
passage are uncertain.
