YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 4, ARMENPRESS. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may call off a visit to Washington next week in protest at votes in the House of Representatives on recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Reuters reported.
Erdogan is due in Washington on Nov. 13 at US President Donald Trump’s invitation, but said last week that the votes put a “question mark” over the plans.
On October 29 the US House of Representatives adopted a resolution on recognizing the Armenian Genocide based on the voting results. 405 Congressmen voted in favor of the resolution, while 11 voted against.
