>>I believe the Turks started WWII on the Axis side.

Neutrals all the way, IIRC. They never joined the Axis, not even when the Wehrmacht moved into Greece.

ColdWar, well, we did use their land to place the Thor(?) missiles and even ran reconaissance flights over the Soviet Union from there.

Anyway, if Congress wants to pass symbolic resolutions on foreign policy, that’s their right.

And it’s not as if Obama wanted this passed, it’s just that his own party didn’t listen to him and went its merry way.

It may well be satisfying to the US Diaspora, but the nation of Armenia just took it on the chin.

They wanted normalization of relations with Turkiye, a process that was about to reach a successful conclusion......
