"Congress should pay more attention to the negotiations in the
Caucasus, than problem of the Armenian claims on the "genocide of
1915"," Co-Chair of the Turkey Caucus in the US Congress Robert
Wexler said.

Wexler intends to leave Congress in 2010 and will take the post of
Head of the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation.

Two pro-Armenian senators in the United States, Robert Menendez
and John Ensign, have introduced the so-called "Armenian Genocide
Resolution" to the U.S. Senate.

Mr. Wexler believes that currently this issue is not so important on
the background of the regional negotiations.
