Armenian Genocide resolution blocked in U.S. Congress, Zatulin says

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. Congress is as a matter of fact blocked by the military-industrial establishment lobbying Turkey's interests. Not all are ready to back such a document in Europe either, though most of European states recognize the Armenian Genocide," Director of the Institute of SIC Studies Nikolay Zatulin writes in an article titled "Bill on Genocide won't let memory fade."



Fearing of possible consequences, modern Turkey tries to deny the national coloring of this crime and its responsibility for the tragedy of the Armenian people, according to him. "Besides moral condemnation, stain on the history of the Turkish people included in the number of outcasts of world civilization, Turkey may also face demands for material compensations, territorial claims and claims for cultural values, which are in deplorable state on the Turkish territory. Europe demonstrates a cool attitude about Turkey's arguments. This is the evidence of Europeans' unwinking memory and unwillingness not see Turkey within the European family with its system of values," says the article published by RIA Novosti.
