    Turkish Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Murat
    Mercan left for working visit to the United States to prevent the
    consideration of so-called, "Armenian genocide" by the U.S. Congress.

    Before his visit to Washington, he said that the discussion of the 1915
    events in the U.S. Congress would damage Turkish-American relations.

    U.S Congress's International Relations Commission Chairman Howard
    Berman proposed to submit the so-called 'Armenian genocide' for
    consideration March 4.

    Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that submission for
    consideration of the bill on the so-called, "Armenian genocide" March
    4 by the U.S. Congress's Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Howard
    Berman is not accidental and planned by Armenia.

    He said that for some reason, when Ankara announced the protocols'
    signing in August there was no pressure. According to him, someone
    is trying to convince Ankara of something it did not commit.

    Davutoglu said that raising of the bill does not match the interests
    of either Turkey, the U.S. or Armenia.
