The discussion of the resolution on the Armenian genocide in
the U.S. Congress aroused much enthusiasm among the Armenians,
said the head of the Armenian Ramkavar Liberal Party Harutyun
Arakelyan. According to him, the Turkish government turned to the
Jewish Lobbying organizations of the U.S. asking them to create
obstacles for the adoption of the resolution but the Jewish
organizations preferred remaining neutral.
Harutyun Arakelyan noted that we do not need to get excited or become
sad if the Armenian genocide issue enters the Congress or if Obama
pronounces or not the word "genocide". The HRAK head says that even
if all the countries recognize the genocide, it will only be a moral
victory and not legal.
As to the question whether the U.S. will recognize or not the genocide,
Arakelyan says it the problem of the U.S. The latter has interests in
Turkey and it is naïve to think that for the sake of a country which
does not have oil and gold reserves, neither a completed political
system and which is under the Russia’s influence, the U.S.
will sacrifice its interests.
