/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Genocide resolution is a proper test
for American democracy. It will uncover priorities of the United
States – good relations with Turkey or historical truth, Russian
State Duma member, Konstantin Zatulin told a news conference in
Yerevan October 21.

Adoption of the resolution in the full House will be dragged out
unless Turkey breaks into northern Iraq, according to him.

"If Turkey risks relations with the U.S., the latter can pass the
resolution in response," he noted.

Reminding that several Representatives have recalled their signatures,
Zatulin said the Congress will not recognize the Armenian Genocide.

"Various trends are clashing in Turkey but the principle "we don’t
confess and don’t recognize" is dominating. All this generates a
serious political crisis," Mr Zatulin said.

Zatulin described Turkey’s threats to intrude into Iraq as "realistic
bluff proceeding from cynical but competent policy," IA Regnum reports.
