US CONGRESS MAY ADOPT “ARMENIAN RESOLUTION” THIS YEAR: TURKISH NEWSPAPER
YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. For 90 years already the Armenians have
been trying in vain to push through US Congress a resolution on the
Armenian Genocide. This year they may succeed but due to aggravating
Turkish-American relations rather their own efforts, reports Vatan
newspaper referring to its interview with Turkish co-chair of the
Council for Developing Armenia-Turkish Business Ties Kaan Soyak.
Vatan reports Soyak as saying that learning two months ago that the
resolution may again appear in US Congress he informed of it “his
friends in Armenia’s Foreign Ministry.” They said that if this year
the Armenian Diaspora does what it has been failing to do for 90 years
this will mean that the preventive mechanism is no longer operative.
Asked what will happen if US Congress adopts the resolution Apr 24
Soyak says that the resolution mentions “Turks” rather than “Ottomans”
which means that if the resolution is passed anyone having Turkish
passport will be considered a Genocide perpetrator.
