US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's pledges to
recognize the Armenian Genocide are more convincing, unlike the
former candidates, Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan told
a press conference on June 24.
According to him, the latter recently reconfirmed the importance of
recognizing the Genocide.
"Although it's hard to guarantee anything in politics, unlike the
former candidates, Obama states this not only as a presidential
hopeful but also as a Senator," he said.
According to Kiro Manoyan, Turks had a meeting with Obama's advisers.
"They told the Turks they should have a second program, because
Obama will recognize the Armenian Genocide if elected," Kiro Manoyan
said. In his words, Obama turns not only to the issue of the Armenian
Genocide, but also the settlement of the Karabakh conflict on fair
principles. Mr. Manoyan considers that nothing new will be registered
in the Karabakh settlement process before the presidential elections
in the US and Azerbaijan.
Kiro Manoyan noted also that the US has not yet expressed its distinct
attitude towards the new authorities of Armenia. "The United States
has to show that it does not pose the issue of legitimacy of the
Armenian authorities," he noted.
