YEREVAN, OCTOBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The United States of America
is bargaining with Turkey over recognizing or not recognizing the
Armenian Genocide. This statement was made by Konstantin Zatulin,
an RF State Duma deputy and the Head of the CIS Institute, in the
National Press Club on October 21.

According to him, Resolution 106, which was recently adopted in the
Foreign Relations Commission of the House of representatives, is
unlikely to be adopted in U.S. Congress. In particular, the fact that
the number of the Congressmen supporting the adoption of the resolution
has decreased as a result of the pressure of Bush administration and
zionist lobbyist structures already speaks about this.

Mentioning that the United States of America is against taking military
actions in Iraq and makes it clear that in that case the resolution
can be adopted, Konstantin Zatulin convinced the Armenian mass media
to make conclusions with regard to the principles of the American
policy in the region.

In the opinion of the Russian political figure, Turkey will rather
not fulfil its threat, that is to say to invade into Iraq, and will
receive promises on not recognizing Resolution 106 instead. As a
result, Turkey will preserve the role of the USA as a stratagic
partner in the region, and the President of Turkey will strengthen
his positions in the country.
