Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to discuss possible consideration of H.Res.252 by the House of Representatives.

According to Turkish media reports, Secretary Clinton promised to block voting.

Davutoglu once again threatened that relations between the United States and Turkey will worsen if the resolution is adopted.

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.
