Each year Americans remember the massacres killed hundreds of thousands of Armenian men, women and children during and immediately after World War I, and every year the U.S. Congress is drawn into a fierce debate between Armenia and Turkey, whether to characterise the events of early 20th century in the Ottoman Turkey as Genocide, today's issue of The Washington Post wrote.

"Introduced this week to the U.S. Congress a resolution on the Armenian Genocide is calling on the president to publicly recognize the massacres of 1915 as "genocide" and to use this term during the annual address to the Armenian community of the USA on 24 April. The resolution puts President Obama, Vice President Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an "uncomfortable " position, since they, as senators, strongly advocated the recognition of the Armenian Genocide", the article stated.

According to the newspaper, the resolution has caused Turkey's aggression and has intensified its lobbying activities. "The Turkish government has been spending millions on lobbying in Washington over the last decade, most of which focused on the issue of genocide recognition. Major lobbying company Gerhardt Group receives $ 70,000 a month from Turkey ," The Washington Post stressed.
