Washington. – APA. A resolution claiming recognition of the 1915
happenings as "Armenian genocide" has been introduced to the U.S. House
of Representatives by Armenian lobby in the Congress.

The measure, H.Res.252, spearheaded by Democratic Representatives
Frank Pallone and Adam Schiff and Republican Representatives Mark
Kirk and George Radanovich is signed by 70 House colleagues.

The document calls on US President Barack Obama to label World War
I-era happenings as "genocide" while Washington fears such a step
would anger US ally Turkey.

The draft needs passage through the House of Representatives Committee
on Foreign Affairs before reaching the House.

Turkey slammed the use of the genocide label, stating that Armenians
and at least as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians took
up arms and sided with invading Russian troops.

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
