    TURKS TO LOBBY AGAINST ARMENIAN DRAFT RESOLUTION

    Turkish lawmakers in Washington to lobby against Armenian draft
    resolution.

    Two separate groups of Turkish lawmakers are to hold a series of
    contacts in a bid to head off an Armenian draft resolution which is
    scheduled to be put to vote at the foreign relations committee of
    the US House of Representatives.

    The Turkish lawmakers, led by Murat Mercan, chairman of the
    parliament's foreign relations committee, and Suat Kinikoglu, head
    of a Turkish-US parliamentary friendship group, are set to meet US
    Congress members and representatives from a number of Washington-based
    think-tanks.

    The House Foreign Relations Committee is set to vote Thursday the
    Armenian draft resolution on the incidents of 1915 in the Ottoman
    Empire.

    In 2007, the committee approved a similar resolution 27-21, even
    though the former U.S. president and other key figures from the US
    administration lobbied against it.
