/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Three separate delegations of
Turkish parliamentarians are going to depart for
Washington in order to urge their American colleagues
not to adopt the Armenian Genocide resolution.
Delegations, which include representatives from ruling
and opposition parties, will visit the U.S.A. at the
end of February and beginning of March, since
discussions on the resolution in the U.S. House of
Representatives are scheduled for April. During his
last visit to the United States Turkish Foreign
Minister Abdullah Gul called the Congress not to adopt
the resolution, otherwise, in his words, the
American-Turkish relations can be exposed to serious
risk. It is also worth mentioning that this year
adoption of Armenian Genocide resolution is quite
possible, since Democrats, who make majority in the
Congress, are in favor of the document, RFE RL
reports.
