/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution,
H. Res.106, by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs is a good
message," President of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) and
World Armenian Congress (WAC), Ara Abrahamyan told a news conference
in Yerevan.
Jointly with the Armenian communities throughout the world, the WAC
will resolutely oppose Turkey's propaganda of denial, he said.
"We should not forget that Turkey is U.S. strategic ally and that
the U.S. is conducting war in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, I am
confident that all Armenian organizations should work for passage of
the resolution in the full House of Representatives.
Unfortunately, the WAC did not succeed in establishing an office in
the United States so far," Mr Abrahamyan said.
At that, the UAR President voiced discontent with the Armenian media,
which, in his opinion, fails to properly cover the Genocide issue.
"We have not yet decided the steps that will follow the Armenian
Genocide recognition by the international community. Presently, the
most important task for us is recognition. The WAC has published a
three-volume edition containing documents and proofs of the fact of
Genocide. With consent of the Armenian authorities, we are ready to
appeal to the International Court.
However, there are reasons not allowing the republic's leaders to
resort to the move," Mr Abrahamyan said.
