                               RESOLUTION


 
   Calling on the President to work toward equitable, constructive, 
   stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations based upon the two 
countries' common interests and the United States' significant security 
                        interests in the region.

Whereas the United States has had longstanding, positive relations with both the 
        Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Armenia, and it is in the 
        national interest of the United States to promote improved relations 
        between the countries;
Whereas on October 10, 2009, the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Armenia signed 
        protocols to establish good neighborly relations and develop bilateral 
        cooperation, including a joint study of their common history, at a 
        ceremony that was attended and supported by representatives of the 
        United States, France, and Russia; and
Whereas attempts by the United States to support Turkish-Armenian dialogue and 
        the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries have 
        not been successful thus far: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives calls on the President 
to work toward equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-
Turkish relations, based upon the two countries' common interests and 
the United States' significant security interests in the region.
