Draft Resolution On Recognition Of Armenian Genocide In Ottoman Turk

DRAFT RESOLUTION ON RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN OTTOMAN TURKEY TO BE PRESENTED IN US CONGRESS NEXT WEEK

Yerevan, January 11. ArmInfo. A group of US Congressmen, including
Adam Schiff, George Radanovich, Frank Pallone, Joe Knollenberg,
addressed a letter to the members of the US House of Representatives,
informing about their intention to present the draft resolution on
recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in the US
Congress next week.

According to the "Zaman> Turkish newspaper, in the letter the
Congressmen appeal to their colleagues to support this initiative.

The source reminds that the voting on a similar resolution was
rejected at the last minute in 2002 when Republican Dennis Hastert,
the former Speaker of the House of Representatives decided to leave
it for the consideration of the White House’s administration.

Meanwhile, during the last parliamentary elections, Democrat Nancy
Pelosi, the present Speaker of the House of Representatives, promised
her voters to support this resolution.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
