WASHINGTON D.C. - Armenian lobby in the United States presented a new bill to House of Representatives envisaging Washington to put pressure on Ankara to lift the embargo which it claimed Turkey imposes on Armenia.
Adam Schiff, an MP of U.S. Democrat Party, prepared the bill. Schiff is known as leading Armenian initiatives in the House of Representatives.
The bill envisages U.S. to launch initiatives for the removal of the alleged embargo and U.S. Secretary of State to prepare a report for the Congress about the incidents.
The same text should be submitted to the senate and the bill should be adopted both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate and should be signed by U.S. President in order to be enacted.
Armenian lobby in the United States had submitted a similar bill two years ago but the bill has not been presented to the agenda of the House of Representatives.
