U.S. Embassy in Turkey warns of possible violent repercussions.
Last week I posted a survey that showed only 9% of Turks looked upon 'Murka favorably. I rather doubt that that figure will rise now.

Turkish newspapers denounced the decision. "27 foolish Americans," the daily Vatan said on its front-page headline, in reference to legislators who voted for the bill.

Hurriyet called the resolution: "Bill of hatred."

The U.S. Embassy urged Americans in Turkey to be alert for violent repercussions. U.S. Ambassador Ross Wilson said he regretted the committee's decision and said he hoped it would not be passed by the House.
