The US Congress did not include the Resolution on Armenian Genocide (H Res 252) in the Tuesday agenda o
f the House of Representatives plenary session, the Turkish Daily Zaman reported.
According to CNN Turk, the issue will be excluded from Congress agenda in future.
This comes after House of Representative Speaker Nancy Pelosi's December 18 statement on bringing the resolution to Congress and several Turkish organizations' active lobbying aimed to prevent the possible passage of the document.
Turkish Ambassador to the United States Namik Tan was the first to respond to such initiative. In a message posted in his Twitter microblog, he called for the US Turkish community's support to kill the process.
"Armenian organizations have launched a campaign to bring the resolution on 1915 incidents to Congress. I am sure the Turkish community will provide a relevant response to that," Tan said in his message.
Later, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had a phone conversation with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, requesting the latter to intervene in the process. Clinton assured the Turkish FM that Washington held a firm stance on the process and would do its best to prevent Congress from adopting the resolution.
