"The Armenian Genocide resolution (H. Res. 106) introduced in the US
House of Representatives has not entered a deadlock. Currently the
co-authors are working to increase the number of Congressmen supporting
the bill. Now we are strong as never, having more than 180 supporters,"
US Congressman, co-author of the Armenian Genocide resolution Adam
Schiff said in an interview with the "Armenian Reporter" review.

He expressed confidence that having this many supporters short after
the introduction of the resolution is a very good start. "I think
the biggest and the most important challenge we should resist and
overcome is the Turkish lobby," the Congressman noted.

He added that these days the Congress is primarily centered on the
Iraqi issue. Therefore, any other foreign policy issue has to wait
a little.

"Nevertheless, I don’t think time is already "pressing." I’m more
concerned with the success of the resolution than the day of its
adoption. I’m very optimistic and I have great hopes that it will
pass," Adam Schiff underlined.
