Ankara has launched the implementation of planned actions to prevent the approval of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252 on a vote scheduled for March 4 by the US House Foreign Affairs Committee.

According to Sabah, Turkey’s new-appointed Ambassador Namik Tan had a meeting with the Jewish lobby. The Turkish party expects support over anti-resolution struggle particularly from the American Jewish community (AJC), “American Israel Public Affairs Committee” (AIPAC), and “Anti-Defamation League” (ADL).

The delegation chaired by the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly Murat Mercan is due to hold talks with the Congress over preventing the approval of the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Moreover, Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to attend the nuclear security summit in Washington April 14, where he will meet with Obama to raise Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process.

“Our contacts, surely, continue. The normalization process was launched in Switzerland. Our kind intentions will not be limited by reaching the end of the process. But if a wrong move is taken March 4 or April 24, the process will fail. I think, the congressmen will take the sensitive issue into account,” Erdogan said at an EU group meeting.
