/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Democrats tripped up President Obama, by adopting
the resolution , recognizing the Armenian Genocide during the First
World War, Maurizio Molinari wrote in the La Stampa newspaper.
Democrats voted for the resolution, a bipartisan coalition voted
against. During the voting ambassadors of Ankara and Yerevan were at
the hall of the House of Representatives, as well as delegations from
the parliaments of Turkey and Armenia.
The Turkish ambassador immediately after the procedure was recalled to
Ankara for consultations, while the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep
Tayyip Erdogan few minutes after the adoption of the resolution made a
statement saying that the vote could harm Turkey-US relations, and
also prevent efforts aimed at Armenian-Turkish reconciliation. U.S.
Secretary of State, in turn, condemned the adoption of the resolution
and expressed hope that the House of Representatives would not approve
it, La Stampa wrote.
