Arman Musinian, a spokesperson for the first-sitting Armenian president
and chairing leader of the oppositional Armenian National Congress
Levon Ter-Petrosian, said that there is little sign of US recognition
of Genocide of 1915, as the White House will hardly give away its
interests and security in the Middle East.
When asked whether Armenian National Congress will organise any
rallies if Congress calls off the Resolution on Genocide at today’s
Congressional Panel, Arman Musinian said: "Our position is that the
issue of Genocide was not included in the foreign policy’s agenda. We
are against that the issue of Genocide to be a measure for suppressing
the government and people. This is not moral."
The ‘saddest happening’ in the process of recognition of Genocide,
according to Arman Musinian, is that fact that Armenian side agreed
to form a joint historical commission, questioning the Genocide.
"In this situation I can’t say whether there are counties which will
recognize Genocide."
"Diaspora mainly contributes to the process of recognition of the
Genocide, and its role of the key part of the process was especially
active under administration of Levon Ter-Petrosian.
"Genocide is an issue of humanity. Turkey carried moral obligations
to whole humanity.
"However, when the issue of Genocide is a part of agenda of the
foreign policy, it turns into subject for speculations.
"Issue of Genocide can’t become a subject for dealing," he added.
