States held a rally in Washington in defense to Ankara's position on
the 'Armenian genocide' in Osman Empire, Trend reports citing the
Turkish media. Over 250 people participated in the rally staged in
front of the Turkish embassy.
Participants in the action held flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan,
scanning 'Go away from Turkey', 'Enough Armenian lies," etc.
Meanwhile, the Turkish embassy in the United States set up
consultations with members of the US Senate with respect to remove
from agenda three documents on the so-called 'Armenian genocide'

remove any issue from the agenda.
One of the similar documents had been submitted former US President
Bill Clinton, who is refused to ratify it.
The Turkish authorities on behalf of Prime Minister Erdogan had sounded
a proposal on the necessity of study of the events developing upon
the collapse of the Osman Empire by the Armenian-Turkish scientific
commission, whilst Yerevan came out against it.
