US President George Bush will hardly use the word "genocide" in his
annual Apr 24 statement, the head of the Central Office of Hay Dat
Kiro Manoyan said during a press-conference in Pastark club today.

Bush will not use the word "genocide" even despite the growing
congressional support for the resolution No 106. But the purpose
of this resolution is exactly the use of the word "genocide" by the
US president.

Manoyan says that Turkey’s threats that it will stop strategic
cooperation with the United States if it adopts the resolution are
groundless. "The United States needs Turkey as much as Turkey needs
the United States." By persisting in denying the Armenian Genocide
Turkey is harming its own self as thereby it forces the Armenian
lobby to constantly increase its efforts towards the recognition
of the Genocide. Today, Armenia should shift the attention of the
international community from the historical fact of the Genocide to the
necessity of Turkey’s admitting its responsibility for the crime. As
long as Turkey denies the Genocide Armenia cannot feel itself safe.
