Jeff Fortenberry: Genocide resolution will harm Armenia-Turkey rapprochement

The historic truth is that Armenian Genocide was committed in Turkey, and I do not doubt it, Congressman from Texas, Jeff Fortenberry said.

“I do not doubt the fact of Genocide; still, I believe it’s not the right time for US to vote for the adoption of the resolution,” he noted during the hearing of U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

“Armenia and Turkey should discuss the problem between themselves,” Jeff Fortenberry said, adding that Genocide resolution will harm Armenia-Turkey rapprochement.
