/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Hrant Dink's death became a loss not only for the
Armenian nation, but also for Turkey itself and the whole world. It
influenced even on Americans," said to a press conference in Yerevan
AAA (Armenian Assembly of America) Regional Director for Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh Arpi Vartanian. She reminded that two resolutions
have been introduced in the U.S. Congress, which condemn Dink's
assassination: one by senator Biden the other by congressman Crowley.
"American nation could be unaware of the Armenian Genocide, but Hrant
Dink's assassination learnt everyone. I strongly believe his death
was not in vain," stressed the AAA Regional Director.
Alongside, she underlined currently the Armenian Genocide issue is too
politicized. "Turkey uses this opportunity in order to exert pressure
on the Unites States making it refuse to adopt the 106th resolution.
During the meeting between Turkish foreign minister and U.S. State
Secretary this question was under discussion. Really, the adoption
of this resolution can influence on American-Turkish relations and
I do not think that the current White House administration will do
it. But we cannot exclude the possibility to adopt the resolution by
democratic majority," Vartanian underscored.
