Just as in April of last year, so in the future, Ankara is not waiting
for an Armenian Genocide resolution to come before the U.S. Congress,
said newly appointed Turkish Ambassador to the U.S. Namik Tan,
reports Turkish news source Today’s Zaman.

"We not expect such a negative step from our ally, the United States,
not this year, nor in the upcoming years. Particularly, in the
context of our effective cooperation this year, such measures would
have serious consequences. They would simply be a blow to the work of
securing stability in the South Caucasus and would halt all efforts
in that direction," said Tan, adding that such resolutions are simply
"unfounded."

The Turkish ambassador also said that Turkey made one of the most
important steps in history by signing the protocols in normalizing
relations with Armenia.
