Resolution 252 tool of pressure on White House
Introduction of Resolution 252 on recognition of the Armenian Genocide into the U.S. Senate is a protest Senators Robert Menendez and John Ensign express against formation of Armenian-Turkish historical commission, according to ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan.

"The resolution is a tool of pressure on the White House to prevent the Obama administration from linking normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations to the Armenian Genocide recognition," he said.
