Baku, September 21, AssA-Irada
The United States government supports scrutinizing the so-called
'genocide of Armenians' issue, US ambassador to Azerbaijan Reno
Harnish told reporters on Wednesday.
In reply to a question whether frequent mentioning of the issue may
negatively affect the US-Turkey and US-Azerbaijan relations, the
ambassador said putting the 'genocide' issue on discussion at the
US Congress has been proposed by some committee chairmen so far. He
also called on Turkish research scientists to cite specific facts
and materials concerning 'this bloody page in history'.
Last week, pro-Armenian chairs of committees made proposals on putting
the 'genocide' issue on discussion at the US Congress.*
