'Resolution will hardly be included in Congress’s agenda'

Armenia faces some challenges, according to Armenian Parliament’s deputy and member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artsvik Minasian, who pointed out mechanism and ratio of voices at the voting by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives over Resolution 252.

“It’s obvious that hearings on Resolution at Congress will demand for some additional initiatives and conditions by our fellow countrymen both in Diaspora and Armenia,” he said at the press conference.

“I think the Resolution will hardly become an item of agenda of the Congress; this depends on the US policy in the region, and especially, on the US-Turkey relations,” said Artsvik Minasian. He referred to the statement by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, who threatened to expel 100,000 Armenians from Turkey: “It’s obvious that Turkey’s approach to ‘Armenian issue’ hasn’t changed, and it was to no purpose to hope that Turkey became a civilized nation.”
