Armenian political scientist: "The United States can not recognize
"the Armenian genocide" as it will mean deterioration of relations
with Turkey and Azerbaijan"

"The US policy in the South Caucasus will hardly change after the
election of Barack Obama as a President", said Armenian political
scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan at a press conference on Friday.

"No serious changes should be expected with Obama’s election as most
responsible positions in the state are occupied by the staff of Bill
Clinton and Georgia’s Bush’s administrations. In such conditions no
new president will be able to change the external political course of
the country", explained the political scientist.

He said, probably, the US congress recognizes the "Armenian genocide"
but "the decision will hardly be approved by the Senate and the
President".

"The United States can not recognize the "Armenian genocide" as it
will mean deterioration of ties with Turkey and Azerbaijan", noted
Melik-Shahnazaryan.

He considers that such a partial recognition will just worsen the
situation for after it the United States will try to "compensate the
recognition of "genocide" with increased assistance to Turkey and
Azerbaijan".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
