/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recognition of the Armenian Genocide is an
irreversible process not only in the Unites States but also throughout
the globe.

"We suppose that a draft resolution recognizing the Genocide will be
submitted to the 111th Congress soon," Ms. Arpi Vartanian, the Armenian
Assembly of America Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh,
told a news conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.

"The Assembly negotiates with the Congressmen, Co-chairs of the
Caucasus on Armenian Issues and new administration members for soonest
recognition of the Armenian Genocide," she said.

Ms. Vartanian also reminded about the frequent visits of Turkish
delegations to Washington with the purpose to dissuade the
administration from the move.

"Meanwhile, Congressmen expect President Obama to keep his pledges,
including recognition of the Armenian Genocide. "We understand that the
U.S. has its own interests in the Caucasus and that Washington doesn’t
want to damage relations with Turkey. But we believe that Obama-Biden
administration will support the Armenian Americans and will recognize
the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire," she said.
