American Senator Lindsey Graham blocked the resolution to recognize the Armenian Genocide, reports TASS agency. Graham made his decision after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which he reported during the Senate meeting.
“I just met with President Erdogan and President Trump about the problems we face in Syria by the military incursion by Turkey. I do hope that Turkey and Armenia can come together and deal with this problem,” said the senator.
