"By next week the bill on recognition of the Armenian Genocide will
be presented to the House of Representatives. The possibility of its
adoption is great," Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan
said at a press conference today. He mentioned also that Congressmen
will be presented the same bill hat was introduced in 2000 and 2005
(the vote was, however, prevented by House Speaker Denis Hustert.)
Kiro Manoyan assured that the Armenian-Turkish relations would not
be better if the issue of the Armenian Genocide recognition was
not included in Armenia 's foreign policy agenda. "In 1991-1998
the Genocide recognition issue was not on our foreign relations
agenda. It was then that Turkey Imposed a blockade on Armenia, refused
to establish diplomatic relations with Armenia and suggested a number
of preconditions. While it was only Armenia that had the moral right
to set preconditions," ARF representative underlined.
