WASHINGTON D.C. - A six-member Turkish parliamentary delegation will hold a series of talks in Washington D.C. next week to prevent approval of a draft resolution on so-called Armenian genocide which was submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The delegation is expected to leave for the United States early on Monday.
Members of the delegation will hold talks with U.S. congressmen and U.S. State Department officials during their stay in Washington D.C.
Later, the second and the third delegations will pay visits to the United States in March.
During their meetings with U.S. authorities, Turkish parliamentarians will explain that the events during the World War I could not be defined as genocide, and that approval of the draft would seriously disturb Turkey-the United States relations.
