/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Each presidential contender promises the American
Armenians to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide. It’s natural. They
want to enlist support of various levels of population while the
Armenian community is rather strong and influential,’ Arpi Vartanian,
the Armenian Assembly of America Regional Director for Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. In her
words, politics should not intrude into history. `Senators Barack
Obama and Hillary Clinton, who enjoy popular support, have already
announced the decision to run for President. It’s too early to say who
can win the race but we can suppose that an African American or a
woman may be elected President for the first ever time in the
U.S. history. A woman has already been elected the Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Thus, everything is possible and we are
hopeful that one of the U.S. Presidents will keep promise and
recognize the Armenian Genocide,’ she said.
