The chance of affirmation of the resolution on the Armenian Genocide
by the U.S. House is great, stated the head of the ARF Hay Dat
Massachusetts office Sharistan Melkonyan on August 23 at the Friday
Club. She said the house will affirm the resolution 106 if it appears
on the agenda. She said the resolution will be affirmed if 218
representatives vote for it. The resolution has more cosponsors than
is needed to pass the resolution but it is difficult to forecast how
they will vote, she said. Therefore, according to Sharistan Melkonyan,
it is necessary to get more cosponsors of the resolution to ensure that
it will be passed. She said the adoption of the resolution is not an
end in itself for the Armenian community of America for it will impel
Turkey to recognize the genocide and open the border with Armenia.
