/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The possibility of discussion and adoption of the
Armenian Genocide resolution in the U.S. Congress is big enough,
ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Office Director Kiro Manoian
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the resolution
will be submitted for discussion after numerous consultations with
Congressmen. "The possibility of adoption is big enough and we work
in this direction.
As to Turkey's reaction on the possible adoption, I think this country
exaggerates its capabilities and weight in the U.S. America is not
France and the Turkish government has no instruments of influence
here. Relations between the U.S. and Turkey cannot be a decisive
factor in Armenian Genocide recognition issue.
7 years ago, at the times of President Clinton, an attempt to pass an
Armenian Genocide resolution was taken but the Republican congressional
majority blocked its adoption. Presently, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of
the House of Representatives stands for the adoption of the resolution.
