/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Armenian Genocide Resolution, H. Res.106, is
of utmost importance. It’s a resolution which confirms the decisions
taken in the Congress since 1970-ies. Moreover, the authors urge the
President to use term ‘genocide’ in his annual April 24 statement,"
Kiro Manoyan, director of the ARF Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political
Affairs Office, told a news conference in Yerevan.

Passage of the resolution is a political act, according to
him. "It’s one the ways to exert pressure on Turkey. In my opinion,
the voting will be scheduled for September, after the parliamentary
and presidential elections in Turkey. I should also mention that the
voting procedure is set by the Speaker," Kiro Manoyan said.
