Bill on the so-called Armenian genocide is due not to be brought to
a vote in US Congress House of Representatives, APA’s Turkey bureau
reports.

US President George Bush phoned Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of House
of Representatives and urged her backtrack on her support for a
congressional resolution. She changed her position after call of
President and 12 congressmen refusing to support genocide bill. She
said that bill is due not to be approved.

218 votes are needed for recognition of the bill on the so-called
Armenian genocide in the House of Representatives. 211 congressmen
support this bill at present. This figure is expected to reduce.
