Kosntantin Zatulin: Armenian resolution is a test for U.S. democracyOctober 22, 2007 - 15:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian Genocide resolution is a proper test for American democracy. It will uncover priorities of the United States - good relations with Turkey or historical truth, Russian State Duma member, Konstantin Zatulin told a news conference in Yerevan October 21.Adoption of the resolution in the full House will be dragged out unless Turkey breaks into northern Iraq, according to him. "If Turkey risks relations with the U.S., the latter can pass the resolution in response," he noted. Reminding that several Representatives have recalled their signatures, Zatulin said the Congress will not recognize the Armenian Genocide. "Various trends are clashing in Turkey but the principle "we don't confess and don't recognize" is dominating. All this generates a serious political crisis," Mr Zatulin said. Zatulin described Turkey's threats to intrude into Iraq as "realistic bluff proceeding from cynical but competent policy," IA Regnum reports.
