The 29th Annual Conference on United States-Turkey Relations, which is organized by Turkish-American Business Council, or TAIK, and American-Turkish Council, or ATC, every year in April, has been postponed.
Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey, or DEİK, stated on Saturday that the conference, which was planned to be held in Washington between April 11 and 14, was postponed due to approval of an Armenian resolution at Foreign Relations Committee of U.S. Congress and the following developments.

The two councils expressed sorrow over the postponement of the conference to a another date, and stressed that they had full confidence in sound commercial and investment relations between Turkey and the U.S.
