If Democrats come to power, the US foreign policy is likely to
experience some changes, Kiro Manoyan, ARFD Bureau’s Hay Dat and
Political Affairs Office Director, said at Pastark Debate Club,
Tuesday.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has repeatedly come
out for changing the policy of Washington regarding the Genocide of
Armenians of 1915 in Ottoman Turkey, he said. Moreover, Obama is for
launching a dialogue with Iran and for ‘fair’ settlement of Karabakh
conflict, K. Manoyan said.
‘The history showed that the US presidential candidates are in no
haste to fulfill their promises regarding the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide when coming to the White House. Nevertheless, Obama
has already expressed his opinion on the topic both as presidential
candidate and as senator, which inspires us with hope’, Kiro Manoyan
said. At the same time he underlined that no radical changes should
be expected in the foreign policy of official Washington.
