The speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has refused
to receive the Turkish parliamentary delegation, which organized an
"antolobby" in Washington on the Armenian Genocide Resolution.

Journalists asked the members of the delegation, "Did you
demand a meeting with Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House of
Representatives?" Turkey’s Ambassador to Washington Nabi Sensoy
replied, "While we arranged appointments with various members of
the Congress, we also requested an appointment from Pelosi’s office,
but they didn’t even respond." Other such delegation that went to the
United States with the same purpose were treated the same way. OK,
let’s omit Gul’s case, who tried to make an appointment at a time
when Pelosi’s character wasn’t known by us. And let’s also omit the
first delegation’s repeated mistake since it coincided with Gul’s
visit. But how come the second and the third delegations ventured
forth and were humiliated over and over again?
