Jonathan Henick: The U.S does not recognize 1915 events as genocide
[ 18 Jan. 2007 14:18 ]
The discussions of False `Armenian genocide' in the U.S Congress will
not cause any serious changes concerning the issue, US Embassy Public
Relations Department chief Jonathan Henick told the APA. He said that
the U.S's position on this issue has not changed.
`The U.S has never recognized 1915 events as tragedy and does not
recognize now.
It should be mentioned that the U.S president solves the main issues
concerning foreign policy of the country himself. The regulation of
trade relations with foreign countries is under the competence of the
Congress. Though the House of Representatives recognizes false
Armenian genocide, this document should be signed by the senator.
According to the legislation of the U.S, the U.S president does not
have right to put veto on draft law.
It should be mentioned that, the members of Armenian Support Group in
the U.S Congress Adam Schiff, Franck Pallone, George Radanovich and
Joe Knollenberg worked out draft law on recognition of 1915 events as
Armenian genocide. The draft will be put in discussions by the
signature of 150 congressmen. The preliminary hearings of the draft
will be held this week in the House of Representatives. Armenian
lobby persist in approving the draft law until April 24. /APA/
