PanARMENIAN.Net - Every year a delegation of Turkish officials departs for the United States to prevent the term "Armenian Genocide" in president's April 24 speech. AAA (Armenian Assembly of America) Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh Arpi Vartanian said to a press conference in Yerevan that during its meetings the Turkish delegation uses the large influence of Jewish Lobby, which strongly supports Turkey. "Almost there are no relations between Armenian and Jewish lobbies, they meet rarely for the sake of certain common issues. But recently here too we notice some changes. Some influential Jewish lobbyists started to speak about the Armenian Genocide, they bring as evidences the words of U.S. Ambassador to Ottoman Turkey Henry Morgenthau during World War 1, archival documents. Moreover, Turkey has already approximately calculated that the 106th resolution can be adopted and has doubled its efforts in this direction," Vartanian stressed.
