Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr K. Ramazanova / Turkey will undertake exact measures in case the US Congress passes the resolution recognizing 'Armenian genocide', Rakib Kilic, the assistant chairman of the Turkish Police General Directorate's Department on Smuggling and Organized Crime, said.

"We hope the resolution will not be passed. But if the United States passes it, Turkey will undertake exact steps," he said.

US Congress developed a draft resolution stating that at the beginning of the 20th century Turks committed genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Armenians state that over 1.5mln Armenians were slaughtered on that day.

Turkey has repeatedly warned the United States that in case it passes resolution 106, the relationships between the two counties will deteriorate.

Speaking on the relations between Turkey and Iraq, Kilic noted that the two countries' officials were negotiating.
