Res. 106 only confirms this historical fact and calls on President Bush to use this term in his annual April 24 address," "Hay Dat" office head Giro Manoyan stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, already 191 House representatives and also 38 senators expressed their support for the Resolution. "218 votes are necessary for adoption of the Resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives and 51 - in Senate. I think that necessary number will be gathered to the moment of voting," Manoyan noted. He also reminded the U.S. Congress has recognized the Armenian Genocide still in 1973 and starting from 1994 president of the country sends addresses on this occasion. But those addresses always say "tragic events of 1915".
