WASHINGTON, JANUARY 8, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. "I hope the
bill on Armenian Genocide will be at last ratified thanks to the newly
elected Congress," U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff declared adding that
not only U.S. administration, but also Turkey should recognize the
genocide committed towards Armenians.
Schiff made his statement before Armenians who went on five-day
hunger-strike in front of the building of Turkish Consulate General
in Los Angeles.
In the article under the title "Turkey’s Efforts Were in Vain:
U.S. Congress Will Pass the Armenian Bill" Kasim Cindemir, Washington
correspondent of Turkish Hurriet daily wrote that Schiff is going to
submit the bill on recognition of the Armenian Genocide by U.S. to
the Congress in the coming days.
The correspondent also reported that everybody in Washington believes
that the Armenian bill will be adopted. "The public opinion is that
even President George Bush will not be able to prevent adoption of
such a bill," Hurriet writes.
According to the same source, U.S. former President Bill Klinton who
7 years ago intervened and prevented ratification of the bill in the
House of Representatives of Congress, informed Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan than it will be difficult to avoid adoption of
this bill in these conditions.
