The U.S.
Senate on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution that recognizes as a genocide the mass killings of Armenians a century ago, a historic move that infuriated
Turkey and dealt a blow to the already problematic ties between Ankara and Washington.
Turkey condemned the measure, which passed a month after an official visit to the
White House by
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who enjoys a special rapport with President
Donald Trump, amid mounting issues that have soured the relationship between the two NATO allies.
