/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "It might be desirable if the Armenian lobby in
the United States would support Armenia in any issues," American
entrepreneur and patron with Armenian decent Vahagn Hovnanian stated
to a press conference in Yerevan commenting on activities of Armenian
lobbyists in the U.S. Congress. He underlined his both brothers Hrair
and Zhirair Hovnanians are active members of the Armenian Assembly
of America. V. Hovnanian said, today all preconditions exist for
adopting the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. Congress,
IA Regnum reports.
Support for adopting the resolution on recognizing the Armenian
Genocide in the lower chamber of the U.S.
Congress continues to increase both from Democrats and
Republicans. Senator Hillary Clinton and leader of Senate minority
Harry Raid have already expressed their support for the Armenian
Genocide resolution.
This decision was made on the background of intense environment caused
by the next visit of a Turkish delegation, which hoped "via threats on
worsening American-Turkish relations to freeze the Armenian Genocide
resolution".
