24 US congressmen have sent an appeal to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the US Congress, urging not to discuss the resolution on “genocide” of Armenians in the House of Representatives.
According to the US Azeris Network (USAN), the appeal sent to the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of U.S. Congress Howard Berman and members of the committee, notes that the discussion of this resolution in the House of Representatives is a destabilizing factor for the US interests.
It is noted that this will be a serious blow to US-Turkish strategic relationship, to American interests and NATO operations in the Middle East and Central Asia. Considering Turkey’s role in bringing peace and stability in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East and other regions, the congressmen consider it dangerous to discuss the resolution on “genocide” of Armenians. “Discussion of dubious historical events in the Ottoman Empire during World War II in the US Congress actually ruins US relations with its current real strategic partner in NATO,” says the appeal signed by 24 US congressmen.
