Richard Armitage, who served as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State during
the first term of President George Bush, is perturbed that President
Obama's administration has not intervened in averting passage of
Armenian Genocide HR 252.
"The Turkish people should take a deep breath and remember that the
resolution is a nonbinding one," he said. "And this vote is just at
a committee level," Armitage said to Hurriyet. The former official
stated that at the time Secretary of State Colin Powell actively
worked to stop a similar bill. "It is disappointing to see the U.S.
administration not using enough political muscle to stop the resolution
being heard this time."
