    ZAMAN: THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE WAS SCHEDULED TO VOTE ON THE RESOLUTION THURSDAY AND APPEARED LIKELY TO ENDORSE IT

    ArmInfo. The US Congress urges not to act on Armenian resolution,
    the Turkish newspaper Zaman says.

    The newspaper says that the Obama administration is urging Congress
    to hold off on a resolution declaring the World War I era incidents
    as genocide. The House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee
    was scheduled to vote on the resolution Thursday, and appeared likely
    to endorse it.

    But White House spokesman Mike Hammer said Secretary of State Hillary
    Rodham Clinton had spoken with the committee's chairman, Democratic
    Rep. Howard Berman, on Wednesday and indicated that such a vote would
    jeopardize reconciliation talks between Turkey and Armenia.
