U.S. President Barack Obama advised the U.S. Congress not to adopt the resolution on so-called "Armenian genocide", CNN Turk reported.
Resolution on the "genocide" will be considered by the Congress on Thursday. The idea of bringing the question into debate was made by chairman of the committee on foreign affairs of the U.S. Congress Howard Berman
Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed genocide against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to promote the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition by parliaments of some countries.
Meanwhile the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a telephone conversation with the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs of the U.S. Congress said that the adoption of resolution jeopardizes the Armenian-Turkish protocols.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Foreign Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu urged the U.S. not to risk the progress made in resolving the Armenian-Turkish relations, considering this issue.
"The United States has now two options: to turn all the progress made in relations between Turkey and Armenia and in general in the South Caucasus to no, or to continue promoting the peace process in the region, said Davutoglu. - We think they will choose the second option."
Turkey and Armenia signed two protocols on October 10, 2009 to normalize relations between the two countries.
After his official visit to Moscow, the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Ankara in December that this process is directly related to the solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, despite that some people have argued that the Turkish-Armenian relations are separate from the Nagorno-Karabakh.
