/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Adoption of the Armenian Genocide bill by
the U.S. Congress cannot become a subject of speculations and
pressure on Armenia by the United States, political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahnazaryan told a press conference in Yerevan. He said, it
is a rather moral than a political step. "However, currently it is
being viewed in the political aspect.
After all, United States’ guilt in 1896-1923 Armenian Genocide in
Ottoman Empire is rather small. In this crime more guilt have Russia,
Germany, France and Great Britain. Here France’s example is very
instructive, which despite anything recognized the Armenian Genocide
and even adopted a bill on criminal punishment for denying it,"
the political scientist stressed. He expressed confidence that the
United States will not demand support from Armenia in the Iranian
problem in return for adoption of the bill.
