Turkish politicians head to Washington over worries about Armenian resolution

Worried about a draft resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives that recognizes the 1915 killings of Ottoman Armenians as genocide, a group of Turkish politicians have set out for Washington to ensure that the resolution does not pass.

Parliament Speaker Cemil Çiçek arrived in Washington and is expected to meet his counterpart at the House of Representatives on March 25.
