Armenia faces some challenges, according to Armenian Parliament’s
deputy and member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artsvik Minasian,
who pointed out mechanism and ratio of voices at the voting by
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of
Representatives over Resolution 252.

"It’s obvious that hearings on Resolution at Congress will demand for
some additional initiatives and conditions by our fellow countrymen
both in Diaspora and Armenia," he said at the press conference.

"I think the Resolution will hardly become an item of agenda of the
Congress; this depends on the US policy in the region, and especially,
on the US-Turkey relations," said Artsvik Minasian. He referred to the
statement by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, who threatened to expel
100,000 Armenians from Turkey: "It’s obvious that Turkey’s approach
to ‘Armenian issue’ hasn’t changed, and it was to no purpose to hope
that Turkey became a civilized nation."
