/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Diaspora in the U.S. has prepared a
comprehensive plan to have Obama recognize the Armenian Genocide in
his April 24 statement, Hurriyet reports.
Armenian organizations are also trying to ensure a vote of the Genocide
resolution in Congress in February 2009 and to block the appointment
of politicians who oppose the Armenian Genocide recognition to the
new administration, according to the daily.
Meanwhile, a Turkish official said that Ankara will take all necessary
measures to hamper these efforts. "They cannot do this easily... We
even can stop the U.S. from utilizing Turkish capabilities in its
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan," the official said on condition
of anonymity.
Officials also say Turkey will be in a key position as Obama is
set to change his country's foreign policy, especially in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Therefore Obama will not want to have problems with
Turkey, they note.
Possible appointment of Hillary Clinton to Secretary of State is
regarded as positive for Turkey.
