    US AZERI AND TURKISH DIASPORAS SENT LETTER TO CONGRESSMEN ASKING TO PREVENT POSSIBLE VOTE ON "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE" RESOLUTION

    Washington. Isabel Levine - APA. US Azeri and Turkish Diasporas are
    pulling out all the stops to convince US lawmakers not to proceed with
    a possible vote on the "Armenian Genocide" Resolution (H.Res.252) in a
    House vote tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, at the last "lame-duck"
    session of the Congress, APA's Washington DC correspondent reports.

    The Diasporas sent a letter to President Barack Obama, as well as
    Senate and House of Representatives on Monday asking to prevent a
    possible House vote on a resolution.

    US State Department has declared that they are closely working with
    Congress in terms of failure of such kind of documents' passage.

    Meanwhile, Armenian American and "pro-genocide" activists across
    the United States continue to mobilize in support of a vote on the
    resolution.

    Last week the California-based Armenian Youth Federation launched a
    public defamation campaign against the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe
    Bryant for his contract to promote the Turkish Airlines. The Armenian
    pressure group is demanding Bryant to reject the deal or to accept
    its one-sided interpretation so-called "Armenian genocide".

    In their letter to President Obama, Azerbaijani-American Council
    members are reminding that the actions of Armenian-American groups come
    amidst an investigation over a $163 million Medicare scam, the largest
    fraud in the history of US health care system, by an Armenian-American
    crime ring with connections to Armenian government officials. In
    addition, the US diplomatic cables published last week by the site
    Wikileaks uncovered the fact of Armenia's shipment of weapons to Iran
    in 2008. According to the information from the US embassy in Armenia,
    the shipment to Iran, made not without the knowledge of Armenian
    President Sargsian, ended up in the hands of Shiite militia in Iraq:
    "We join all Turkic-Americans to express my strong disapproval of the
    actions of Armenian-American groups and strongly believe that instead
    of racist attacks against the favorite basketball star or attempts to
    legislate controversial history in the US Congress, Armenian-American
    groups could better expend their efforts to address serious issues
    arising in their community," it says.
