Turkey expects the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States House of Representatives to reject the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.252, which can “hurt Turkish-U.S. relations and harm efforts to normalize relations between Turkey and Armenia”.

“Adoption of such a resolution would be a blow to not only Turkish-U.S. relations but also efforts to facilitate peace and stability in the Southern Caucasus,” said Burak Ozugergin, spokesman for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).

“We want to believe that members of the Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives will act with a sense of responsibility,” he said, Turkish Press reported.
