Not included
The Armenian Genocide Resolution 252 is not included in the agenda of the House of Representatives contrary to previously disseminated information.
The press service of the House of Representatives informed the "Voice of America" that the discussion on the resolution was not even scheduled for today.
Let us remind that the U.S. Department of State is sharply against the discussion on Resolution 252 in the House of Representatives and that position was heard during a press conference held Monday at the U.S. Department of State.
In response to a question regarding the U.S. administration's steps to counterinfluence the discussion on the resolution, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Philip Crawli briefly said the U.S. Department of State has already expressed its position on the issue.
Is the U.S. Secretary of State making phone calls to Nancy Pelosi or other members of the House of Representatives to convey the message to not bring the resolution to the House floor? In response, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State said: "We are in contact with the House of Representatives in terms of this issue."
"I can't say whether the U.S. Secretary of State is personally discussing that issue, but we are in ongoing contact with the House of Representatives," said Philip Crawli, reported by "Voice of America" radio.
