Turkish ally Azerbaijan on Friday (March 05, 2010) condemned as a blow to regional stability a U.S. House panel resolution labeling the World War One mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as "genocide." Oil-producing Azerbaijan, a close Muslim and Turkic-speaking ally of Turkey, said the resolution adopted "could reduce to zero all previous efforts" to resolve the conflict over the Armenian-backed rebel region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
