On January 15, the Armenian Lobby in the USA is going to introduce
a message-resolution in the House of representatives to President
George Bush about using the word 'genocide', Kiro Manoyan, the
director of the ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office,
told journalists in Yerevan on Thursday, PanARMENIAN.Net reported.
In his words, a great opportunity opens for turning to President Bush
through US House of Representatives. Manoyan informed beginning from
2005 the Armenian Lobby uses such method for turning to the president.
At the same time he thinks that the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide
issue into the foreign policy agenda of Armenia is a correct step. "If
we take off this question from the foreign policy agenda we will
reduce possibilities to exert pressure on Turkey.
The experience of 1991-1998 shows that when the Genocide issue was
not included in the agenda of official Yerevan, Turkey imposed a
blockade on Armenia.' he summed up, 'Novosti Armenia' reports.
