U.S. Congress Genocide resolution is rather moral than political step

PanARMENIAN.Net - Adoption of the Armenian Genocide bill by the U.S. Congress cannot become a subject of speculations and pressure on Armenia by the United States, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a press conference in Yerevan. He said, it is a rather moral than a political step. "However, currently it is being viewed in the political aspect. After all, United States' guilt in 1896-1923 Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire is rather small. In this crime more guilt have Russia, Germany, France and Great Britain. Here France's example is very instructive, which despite anything recognized the Armenian Genocide and even adopted a bill on criminal punishment for denying it," the political scientist stressed. He expressed confidence that the United States will not demand support from Armenia in the Iranian problem in return for adoption of the bill.
