The adoption of the Armenian Genocide bill in the US Congress will be
a historic turning point in the process of international recognition
of the Armenian Genocide, representative of the Supreme Body of the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation Armen Rustamyan said at a press
conference today.
"The best opportunity exists today, since both the Democrats and many
pro-Armenian Republicans have joined the initiative," he said. Armen
Rustamyan expressed hope that the issue will enter the Congress agenda
prior to April 24 and there will be no obstacles, since House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi has always been the supporter of the Armenian Genocide
recognition.
Let us remind that Res. 106 is supported by 175 Congressmen
representing 34 US states.
According to Armen Rustamyan, the adoption of the bill will solve the
question of international recognition, since many countries will follow
the example of the United States. Moreover, the regional policy will
be reviewed, progress will be achieved in Armenian-Turkish relations.
