Until Turkey recognizes Armenian Genocide Armenia's security under threat

PanARMENIAN.Net - 218 votes are necessary for the adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. Congress, which hopefully we can reach., Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Aram Hamparian told a press conference in Yerevan. He said, the U.S. legislature has such a system that neither the State Department, and moreover nor the Turkish Foreign Minister can influence on it. "I would advise not to believe in what is written in Turkish press. More often Turkish media gives misinformation in order to show the public that it actively works for preventing the possible adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. Congress," Hamparian stressed. He also said that until Turkey recognizes the Armenian Genocide, Armenia's security will be under threat. "As to Turkey's opinion that the United States needs Ankara's assistance, it is a temporary phenomena. May happen that the U.S. will be able to find strategic allies in the region without Turkey. Alongside I would like to underline that President George Bush does not have a clear stance on the issue of the Armenian Genocide. He says neither "yes" nor "no". If such a policy existed the American Armenian community wouldn't protest against Richard Hoagland's nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Armenia. Really, Armenia needs a U.S. ambassador, but the future ambassador must not be pro-Turkish in any cases," the ANCA Executive Director told.
