"RESOLUTION ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WON'T BE RATIFIED BY U.S. SENATE,"
AMERICAN PROFESSOR AFFIRMS
ISTANBUL, FEBRUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The resolution
on the Armenian Genocide's recognition presented to the U.S. Congress
House of Representatives will not be ratified by the Senate. Professor
of the U.S. Georgetown University Clyde Wilcox said about this
responding the Turk correspondents' questions during a TV bridge
organized at the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul.
"The probability of the resolution's adoption in the House of
Representatives is 40%. Even in case of ratification it will not be of
great importance, because in the U.S. any resolution should be
ratified by the two Houses of the Congress," he stated.
Wilcox asserted that the democrats did not show the expected
assistance towards the Armenian resolution, as a result of which, in
the American professor's words, Speaker of the House of the
Representatives Nancy Pelosi had to postpone a little the discussion
of the resolution. "In all probability, this resolution won't be
adopted by the Congress," he announced, at the same time adding that
even in case of its ratification "President Bush will have a telephone
talk with the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and will inform him that
this is not a decision of his administration and that the adoption of
the resolution will not have any impact on Washington's policy towards
Ankara".
