Turkish Foreign Ministry released a statement on the Armenian Genocide
Resolution pending in the US Congress, expressing regret that the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives will
take up Resolution 252 that recognizes the Armenian genocide into
its agenda on March 4.

"We hope that the Committee will reject the bill that will harm the
relations between the US and Turkey and will bring a halt to the
efforts for the normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations.

We want to believe that the members of the Foreign Affairs Committee
are well aware of the fact that the approval of the draft resolution
will damage Turkey-US relations as well as peace and stability efforts
in South Caucasia and will take steps keeping Turkey’s sensitivity
regarding the issue in mind," the statement said.
