Demoyan on adoption of Armenian Genocide Resolution by U.S. Senate committee
The adoption of an Armenian Genocide Resolution by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee is aimed at solving short-term and mid-term problems, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) Hayk Demoyan told reporters.
He noted that the United States has come up with similar initiatives for many times before, but we should not rejoice over it as the Armenian Cause has been turned into a small coin.
“Nothing will happen as Turkey is the ally of the United States in our region. We should not expect abrupt changes,” Demoyan concluded.
On April 10, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee adopted an Armenian Genocide Resolution, calling upon the Senate to commemorate this crime and encouraging the President to ensure that America’s foreign policy reflects and reinforces the lessons, documented in the U.S. record, of the still-unpunished genocide.
The Armenian Genocide was recognized by Uruguay, Russia, France, Lithuania, the Italian Chamber of Deputies, majority of U.S. states, parliaments of Greece, Cyprus, Argentina, Belgium and Wales, National Council of Switzerland, Chamber of Commons of Canada, Polish Sejm, Vatican, European Parliament and the World Council of Churches.
