ANKARA – "If the United States makes a historical error and adopt a
resolution on the incidents of 1915 in the House of Representatives,
this would be a problem and scandal of the U.S.," said Egemen Bagis,
Deputy Chairman of the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party,
on Saturday.

Speaking to the AA, Bagis indicated that Republican People`s Party
(CHP) MP from Istanbul Sukru Elekdag and Nationalist Movement
Party (MHP) MP from Istanbul Gunduz Aktan and he will pay a visit
to the United States to hold discussions with non-governmental
organizations, senators, members of the House of Representatives,
high level bureaucrats and academicians and try to explain to all
that the adoption of a resolution on the incidents of 1915 would be
a serious blow to Turkish-U.S. relations.

"We will do everything possible to defeat the Armenian resolution
which, if adopted, can hurt Turkish-U.S. relations and the national
interests of the U.S.," told Bagis.

Bagis, Elekdag and Aktan will be in the United States between October
8th and 11th.
