WASHINGTON D.C. – Armenian lobby in the United States presented a
new bill to House of Representatives envisaging Washington to put
pressure on Ankara to lift the embargo which it claimed Turkey imposes
on Armenia.

Adam Schiff, an MP of U.S. Democrat Party, prepared the bill. Schiff is
known as leading Armenian initiatives in the House of Representatives.

The bill envisages U.S. to launch initiatives for the removal of the
alleged embargo and U.S. Secretary of State to prepare a report for
the Congress about the incidents.

The same text should be submitted to the senate and the bill should
be adopted both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate
and should be signed by U.S. President in order to be enacted.

Armenian lobby in the United States had submitted a similar bill two
years ago but the bill has not been presented to the agenda of the
House of Representatives.
