The former Co-Chair of OSCE Minsk Group on settlement of the Karabakh
conflict Vladimir Kazimirov advises not to overestimate the approval
of House Resolution 106 on Armenian Genocide by House Foreign Relations
Committee.

"One should not overestimate this mostly procedural decision by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee before the voting at the House of
Representatives if it ever takes place. Even if passed by the House,
it will become just a recommendation to the US President," Vladimir
Kazimirov said in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent.

The Ambassador said it’s obvious that US Administration is not
concerned about the fair assessment of the events of 1915-23
but cynically cares for its interests in the region. He said the
nervousness in Turkey is more than understandable, while that in
Azerbaijan is less natural and is simply dictated by hatred toward
Armenians.

"It is unlikely to change anything in Karabakh conflict’s settlement
since it has already faced a deadlock. Although national radicals
in both countries may even more aggravate the tension," Vladimir
Kazimirov said.
