March 4, U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee will put Armenian Genocide resolution into the agenda.

The newly-appointed Turkish Ambassador to the United States Namik Tan, who submitted his credentials to the U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday will also get involved in process of prevention to include the resolution in the agenda, Turkish Zaman daily reports.

As NEWS.am reported previously, Turkey struggles against adoption of Genocide Resolution in the U.S. Congress through various means. In parallel with Murat Mercan’s (Turkish Parliament Foreign Affairs Commission Chairman) visit to U.S., Turkish Parliament also sent a letter to the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Howard Berman.

According to Turkish Internethaber website, the letter says that resolution’s inclusion in the agenda is not in Armenia’s, Turkey’s or U.S. interests and steps impeding the normalization process with Armenia should be avoided. “The resolution misdescribes the events of the 19th century end – beginning of 20th. Political analysts should make way for historians to cover tragedy of 1915. We expect you will not place the resolution on the agenda,” the letter reads.
