Samed Seyidov As is known resolution has been raised under the pressure
of the Armenian lobby.

The discussion of the so-called "Armenian genocide" in the US Congress
does not meet the interests of this country, said Samed Seyidov,
chief of the parliamentary commission on interparliamentary ties.

He said Turkey is the main ally of the United States in the region.

"If the resolution on the issue of the so-called "Armenian genocide"
is adopted, this will affect the US-Turkey-Azerbaijan relations.

As is known, this document has been raised under the pressure of
the Armenian lobby. However, the importance of relations between the
United States and Turkey is quite clear to the Congressmen. Therefore,
I believe the US Congress will not pass the resolution", the New
Azerbaijan Party quotes Samed Seyidov as saying.
