    ARMENIAN BILL MIGHT BE PASSED IN NEXT US CONGRESS
    By Cihan News Agency

    An Armenian bill that will recognize the killings of Armenians during
    World War I as genocide is likely to be passed in the U.S. House of
    Representatives, said Clyde Wilcox of Georgetown University.

    Democrats are expected to have the majority in the in the upcoming
    congressional elections in the United States, which are scheduled to
    be held next Tuesday.

    Wilcox, a political science professor at Georgetown, stated that
    Democrats had a chance to take Congress in the elections.

    Since the prospective chairman of the House of Representatives pledged
    to vote on an Armenian bill, it is likely that such a bill would be
    passed in the House, Wilcox told the Turkish press in Ankara, where
    he arrived at the invitation of the American Embassy.

    Wilcox said even if the House of Representatives adopted a bill
    recognizing the so-called the Armenian genocide; America's foreign
    policy would not change. He added that the bill was less likely to
    be passed in the U.S. Senate.

    Professor Wilcox also noted that the bills passed in the House were
    not binding; therefore, they would not reflect the U.S. government's
    polices and opinions
