/PanARMENIAN.Net/ American lawmakers should not vote on the Armenian Genocide resolution, H.Res.106, since it can hamper the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, said Hakan Tekin, Turkey’s Consul General in Los Angeles.

“It’s not correct to describe killings of Armenians during World War I as Genocide,” he said. “The 27-21 Committee vote resulted in tensions in the Turkey-U.S. relations. Turkey briefly pulled its U.S. ambassador, Nabi Sensoy, back to Ankara after the vote.”"
