Turkey continues opposing the Armenian Genocide Resolution 252, adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs. In this connection the Turkey's Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu made a statement.

"The process of normalization between the two countries is possible through negotiations. Third party's intervention in Armenia-Turkey relations complicates the process," Davutoglu stressed. "Turkey will not make decisions being under pressure. Yesterday's decision has not only slowed the process of normalization, but we have run the risk of its suspension. Such solutions can not lead to any move, " Davutoglu said.

"Why only the issue of Armenia-Turkey peace is discussed? Our American and Western friends should reflect over this. It is simple and clear question: peace between Turkey and Armenia is discussed. We ask them directly: whether they want the peace? Let them answer this question, " foreign minister of Turkey said.

On March 4 the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted Armenian Genocide resolution (H.Res.252) by 23 votes “n favour”and with 22 votes "against". After the vote in the appropriate committee, the resolution will be sent to the House of Representatives for a final vote.
