An annual conference on United States-Turkey relations scheduled
for April 11-14 has been postponed due to tensions over the U.S.’s
official attitude toward Armenian genocide, according to the chairman
of a Turkish business association.

The 29th Annual Conference on United States-Turkey Relations was
postponed due to fears there would be low attendance by Turkish
representatives, according to Ugur Terzioglu, chairman of the
Turkish-American Business Association, or TABA/AmCham.

"With respect to our government’s politics and depending on the
fact whether U.S. President Barack Obama uses the world ‘genocide,’
we are supporting the postponement of the American-Turkish Council
[ATC] meeting," he said.

"We hope to see the dark clouds over politics to disappear. We wish
for trade relations between the two countries, as well as investments,
to develop further," he said, the Huttiyet Daily News reports.
