/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "A resolution on the Armenian Genocide recognition
has been introduced in the Senate. By twist of fate, it has the same
number as the House Resolution – 106 – and is backed by 33 Senators,"
Armenian Assembly Country Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh,
Arpi Vartanian told a news conference in Yerevan. However, it’s hard
to forecast a date for Senate hearings, she added.

"As to the House Resolution 106, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will fix a date
for the vote. Possibly, it will happen before the Congress goes on
leave, i.e. before the Thanksgiving Day (November 25). I think we
will know the date soon," Ms Vartanian said.

At that she did not rule out that the Resolution will be defeated
in the full House. "The measure is supported by 226 out of 435
Congressmen. Some are determined to oppose it; some still hesitate. The
AAA and ANCA are cooperating for gaining more supporters of the
Resolution," she said.
