"The position of the US President and Secretary of State does not
reflect the position of the whole country," said Head of the Oriental
Studies Institute of the National academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan
said at a press conference today. In his words, the US has already
recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide on the level of public
opinion. It is recognized by progressive, liberal intellectuals of the
country, the scientific circles and at last a number of Congressmen
and Senators. Therefore, the political elite of the country also
recognizes it.

"Today it is important for us to continue the struggle, since many
US Presidents have used their authority to block the adoption if the
resolution. We should continue the consistent work, since it proceeds
from national interests, the existence of our Diaspora. Humanity
labels genocide as heaviest crime and struggles to prevent it. We
cannot stay apart from these processes," said Ruben Safrastyan.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
