Prospects for a US House of Representatives resolution calling the
1915 massacre of Armenians genocide looks dim. "Whether it will come
up or not, what the action will be, remains to be seen," House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters on Wednesday,
Reuters reports. She had vowed it would get a vote of the full chamber
sometime this year.
Pelosi said she had always supported the nonbinding, "largely symbolic"
resolution, but she would be working with other advocates to see what
they wanted to do now.
Let us remind that over the past days Congressmen from both Democratic
and Republican Parties have begun to withdraw their support from a
resolution, giving in to the pressure from Turkey and the White House.
