/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A delegation of Turkish Jews lobbied against
a resolution under consideration in the U.S. Congress that would
recognize the 1915 massacres of Armenians as genocide, reports the
Jewish Telegraph Agency. The three-person delegation, headed by Silvyo
Ovadya, the president of the Turkish Jewish community, attended this
week’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference
and met with Jewish leaders as well as members of Congress. Turkish
diplomats have been unsuccessful in mustering broad community support
against the non-binding resolution proposed by Rep. Adam Schiff
(D-Calif.), who is Jewish and has a large Armenian constituency.
