ANKARA, MARCH 15, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. "A delegation composed
of Jews living in Turkey is trying to do lobbyist work at the US
Congress that intends to adopt a resolution, according to which
massacres of Armenians in 1915 in the Ottoman Turkey are qualified
as genocide", Jewish Telegraph Agency reported.

According to the same source, the delegation composed of 3 members
and headed by Silvio Ovadi, leader of Turkey’s Jewish community,
participated in a conference organized by the American-Israeli Public
Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and met with US Congressmen and heads of
Jewish lobbyist organizations.

struggle against adoption of the resolution, which was proposed by
Adam Shif, a Jew who enjoys support of Armenians," Jewish Telegraph
Agency reported.
