Zahid Oruj According to Zahid Oruj, the discussions in the US Congress
will not lead to recognition of the mythical genocide of Armenians.
According to member of the MM committee on security and defense, today
the "armenian genocide" has been recognized by almost 50 countries
and more than 40 US states. In addition, some states pay compensation
to Armenia.
Yet, he considers that the official recognition of "genocide" in
the US Congress would have affected the interest of this country as
Turkey is an irreplaceable strategic partner of the United States in
the most important region in the Middle East.
According to the deputy, the widely spread opinion about the strong
influence of the Armenian lobby on the US policy is much exaggerated.
