The U.S. Congress may include a new Armenian Genocide Resolution on its agenda.

According to sources, the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, which had adopted Resolution N252 in March 2010, recently sent a letter to Congressmen to include the bill on the June 14 agenda.

In the letter, the Armenian Genocide is described as a historical reality recorded by U.S. diplomats serving in the Ottoman Empire and modern U.S. presses.

As the Armenian National Committee Yerevan Office told "A1+", in the next couple of hours Washington is expected to give its official affirmation of the information on the new resolution.

The new resolution will undergo the procedure for legislative initiatives once again.
