The Turkish Foreign Ministry has sent a letter to the U.S. Congress.
The letter states the consideration of so-called "Armenian genocide"
will negatively influence the peace in the South Caucasus region,
CNN Turk reported. Consideration of so-called, "Armenian genocide"
by the U.S. Congress will be a blow to the Turkish-American relations
and Turkey hopes that the U.S. Congress will not consider the question
of the Armenian genocide, the letter says.
Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Murat
Mercan went on a working visit to the United States to prevent the
consideration of so-called, "Armenian genocide" by the U.S. Congress,
CNN Turk reported earlier.
Before his visit to Washington, he said that the discussion of the 1915
events in the U.S. Congress would damage Turkish-American relations.
U.S Congress's International Relations Commission Chairman Howard
Berman proposed to submit the so-called 'Armenian genocide' for
consideration March 4.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that submission for
consideration of the bill on the so-called, "Armenian genocide" March
4 by the U.S. Congress's Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Howard
Berman is not accidental and planned by Armenia.
He said that for some reason, when Ankara announced the protocols'
signing in August there was no pressure. According to him, someone
is trying to convince Ankara of something it did not commit.
