/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia welcomed the endorsement by the US House
International Relations Committee of two Armenian Genocide Resolutions and
expressed hope that they will be passed by the full House of
Representatives. `We welcome the decision by the House International
Relations Committee and consider it to be yet another step towards
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide,’ the spokesman for
Armenia’s Foreign Ministry, Hamlet Gasparyan said. `We hope that the issue
will be put before the full House of Representatives and that it will
discuss and adopt the resolutions,’ Gasparyan said. `I wouldn’t like to link
the resolutions adopted by third countries to Turkish-Armenian relations,’
he said. `As far as I know, the parliaments that have recognized the
Armenian genocide urged Turkey in one way or another to normalize its
relations with Armenia,’ Gasparyan remarked, reported RFE/RL.
