I don’t think that anyone has forgotten anything, said US Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton in an interview with Vladimir Pozner of
Russia’s First Channel, while responding to a question by a viewer
on why President Obama has forgotten about his campaign promise to
recognize the Armenian Genocide and thus, support House Resolution 252.

"I don’t think someone forgot something. But what has happened that
is of great import is the work going on between Turkey and Armenia,"
she said.

The US State Secretary recalled that she had been in Zurich last fall
with the foreign ministers of Turkey, Armenia, Russia, France, other
countries to witness the signing of a set of protocols to normalize
relationships between Armenia and Turkey. "In those protocols, there
was an agreement between the two countries to establish a historical
commission that would look at all of the issues that are part of the
past," Secertary Clinton said.

"And I think that’s the right way to go, I think, to have the two
countries and the two peoples focusing on this themselves. I have said
many times we cannot change the past we inherit. All we can do is try
to have a better future," Clinton said, adding that the Turkey and
Armenia are currently working to create the commission of historians.
