PanARMENIAN.Net - In his speech addressed to representatives of a regional branch of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu confirmed the fact that he had a phone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during which he urged to spare no efforts to prevent consideration of H.Res.252, the Armenian Genocide resolution, by the U.S. House of Representatives. "I openly stated that the relations between the United States and Turkey will worsen if the resolution is put on the agenda. Clinton promised to do her best to prevent it," Dikkathaber quoted Davutoglu as saying.

According to Davutoglu, the world will see Turkey's reaction if the resolution is adopted. "However, I hope it will not happen," said Davutoglu.

On December 17, spokesperson for the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Elizabeth S. Chouldjian said that H. Res. 252, the Armenian Genocide resolution, can be considered in the U.S. House of Representatives within the next 48 hours.

The ANCA urges American Armenians to call their congressmen and demand from them that they vote for H. Res. 252 adoption, Chouldjian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The ANCA, as well as famous representatives of show business of Armenian descent have initiated a campaign urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi to schedule a vote on H.Res. 252 before the House adjourns.
