Supporters of a resolution in the US Congress to label as genocide the mass killing of Armenians in Turkey after 1915 have called for it to be delayed.
The four main sponsors of the vote said they still believed a majority of their colleagues would support it, but only if the "timing is more favourable".
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she respected their decision to postpone.
Turkey recalled its envoy over the vote and President George W Bush warned it could damage ties with the US ally.
