"Taking into account that the United States has not yet official
recognized Armenian Genocide Turkey makes its status more and
more inflexible in resolution of Armenian-Turkish relations," Armen
Rustamyan the Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee of the National
Assembly sent a letter to Howard Berman, the Chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs.

"We are encouraged by the statements made by Barack Obama and
his administration regarding Armenia Genocide. I am sure that the
U.S. recognition of Armenian Genocide will not become an obstacle
to the Armenian-Turkish relations, it will contribute to their
improvement," says A. Rustamyan in his letter.

Armenian Deputy has also expressed his gratitude towards those
Congressmen who have devoted their professional activities to
contribute to the recognition of Armenian Genocide.
