The next annual conference of the Turkish-American Council (ATC)
cancelled aftet the adoption of the US congressional resolution (H.

Rep. 252) recognizing the Armenian Genocide in 1915 will, however,
take place, writes Turkish Daily News.

The newspaper adds that the tension in the US-Turkey relations felt
after the adoption of the above-mentioned resolution is now gradually
being dispelled.

The annual conferences of one of the most important bodies symbolizing
the seriousness of US-Turkey relations are traditionally organized
for 30 years now. These conferences have always been attended by
high-ranking Turkish and US officials such as presidents, prime
ministers and foreign ministers.

This year it will take place on October 17-20, 2010, though originally
scheduled on April 11-14. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
is expected to attend the conference.
