Armenia expressed discontent connected with the lobbyist activity
of Turkey in the US Congress against the adoption of the resolution
recognizing the Armenian Genocide.

Before the meetings with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and
Congressmen RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian noted that "Governments
should not intervene in these affairs, but when the question refers
to Armenia’s interests, we cannot keep from interfering especially
in light of the Turkish lobbyist activity on the state level."

Currently the resolution on the Armenian Genocide is being discussed
in the Congress Foreign Relations Committee.
