    PARLIAMENTARY DELEGATION DUE TO WASHINGTON D.C.

    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.
