The International Relations Committee of the US House of
Representatives yesterday passed two resolutions affirming the
so-called Armenian genocide allegations. The resolutions, which
are expected to reach the House floor, urge commemoration of the
anniversaries of the so-called genocide by the US and call on the
president to take into consideration the Armenian genocide allegations
in setting foreign policy. Supporting the resolutions, committee head
Rep. Henry Hyde stated that he didn’t believe that the resolutions
would harm relations with Turkey. /Turkiye/
