/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The world has changed the attitude about the
Armenian Genocide during the past 20-30 years, said Armenian Assembly
of America Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

"Denial of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire resulted in
the Holocaust and genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda and Darfur,"Arpi
Vartanian told reporters today.

"Our work should aim at international condemnation of genocide as
a phenomenon. As to the U.S. President’s annual April 24 statement,
George W. Bush is unlikely to use term ‘genocide’ instead of ‘tragic
events’. We could stand a better chance if the House of Representatives
had passed the Armenian Genocide Resolution. However, presently, the
Resolution is co-sponsored by 211 Congressmen against 218 needed. We
do work with the U.S. lawmakers while the Turkish lobby uses blackmail
and bribe-giving. But we do not lose hope," Ms. Vartanian said.
