US Congress
Barack Obama's administration has managed to agree with the House of Representative of the US Congress not to include the resolution on recognition of “Armenian genocide” to the agenda of the Congress.
Republican Congressman George Radanovich told in his interview with Voice of America that there are currently no grounds to say that resolution 252 will be on the agenda. “As far as I know Obama’s administration managed to agree with the House of Representatives not to include the bill into the agenda of the Congress”, he said. At the same time, he noted that the US Armenian community should continue pressure in the issue of the adoption of the resolution. “sooner or later the resolution will be considered by the Congress”, he said.
As for the impact of the adoption of the resolution by the US Congress on the Turkish-American relations, Radanovich said there will be some crisis in the relations but everything will return to normal in a definite period. “Turks will show resentment for a couple of months and then everything will return to normal. The United States are as important for Turkey as Turkey is important for the United States. This issue is not worthy of spoiling relations”, the congressmen considers.
