Armenia
Leaving the H.Res. 252 off the congressional agenda is conditioned by
Nensi Pelosi's conduct, Giro Manoyan, Head of the Hay Dat (Armenian
Cause) office, told NEWS.am. According to him, Pelosi pledged to put
the Armenian Genocide resolution on the agenda but was inconsistent
with her promise to the Armenian community.
This time it was not mentioned that adoption of the resolution will
negatively affect Turkey-U.S. relations, as it was done previously,
Manoyan said, adding that such objections are groundless.
The issue has been adjourned for 10 times within recent 4 years.
"Decision not put the resolution on the agenda was ill-intentioned.
Majority of congressmen stood for resolution and were positive about
it," he stressed, recalling Pelosi's statement that H.Res. 252 will
be put to the vote in case there are enough votes.
Yesterday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to put the Armenian
Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252, on the congressional agenda killing
the prospects for the passage of this legislation during this session
of Congress.
On March 4, 2010 the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee approved
HR 252 by 23 votes to 22.
