/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution by
the U.S. Congress is as a matter of fact blocked by the
military-industrial establishment lobbying Turkey’s interests. Not all
are ready to back such a document in Europe either, though most of
European states recognize the Armenian Genocide,’ Director of the
Institute of SIC Studies Nikolay Zatulin writes in an article titled
`Bill on Genocide won’t let memory fade.’
Fearing of possible consequences, modern Turkey tries to deny the
national coloring of this crime and its responsibility for the tragedy
of the Armenian people, according to him. `Besides moral condemnation,
stain on the history of the Turkish people included in the number of
outcasts of world civilization, Turkey may also face demands for
material compensations, territorial claims and claims for cultural
values, which are in deplorable state on the Turkish territory. Europe
demonstrates a cool attitude about Turkey’s arguments. This is the
evidence of Europeans’ unwinking memory and unwillingness not see
Turkey within the European family with its system of values,’ says the
article published by RIA Novosti.
