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.
