In fact, during all our contacts concerning the draft resolution it was clearly pointed out that its adoption will lead to undesired results.

We are seriously concerned that the adoption of this draft resolution in the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs despite all our warnings will harm Turkey-US relations and impede the efforts for the normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations.

This decision which could adversely affect our cooperation on a wide common agenda with the United States also regrettably attests to a lack of strategic vision.

As a result of this development we recalled this evening our Ambassador Namık Tan to Ankara for consultations.
