TURKEY STRAINS HUGE EFFORTS FOR HAMPERING ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION N
106, ARMAN KIRAKOSIAN SAYS

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. "Armenia supports all efforts of
international organizations aimed at recognition of the Armenian
Genocide." RA Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosian declared this
at the February 9 press conference touching upon consideration of
draft Resolution N 106 on recognition of Armenian Genocide at
Congress. He reminded that there have been many similar draft
resolutions which were not adopted due to the position of American
administration. A. Kirakosian stated that today Turkey strains huge
efforts for hampering adoption of draft Resolution N 106. However, in
his words, we are inspired with hope by the circumstance that the
democrats make majority at Congress. He said that the preelection
promises of democrats given to the Armenian community, as well as the
fact that Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not receive the Turkish
Foreign Minister "give grounds for hope."
