Turkish Government spokesperson Cemil Chichek said that consultations
resume to decide on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s pending
visit to the United States.

Reminding that Turkey faced unfair accusations at the US congressional
panel which approved a resolution on Armenian Genocide, Spokesperson
Chichek said it is not clear whether Erdogan will deliver the official
visit or not.

Referring to the billl, Chichek said "…Turkey does not deserve this.

Both countries have always been in close and friendly relations,
expressing desire for deepening of mutually beneficiary relations. We
have always reiterated potential risks that arise from decisions
incumbent upon historians but given by parliamentarians."

The spokesperson noted that Turkey expressed regret over the move and
said that Turkey stands behind the newly inked protocol; however, the
accord could make sense only if both sides fulfill responsibilities,
