passes a resolution endorsing Armenians claims of genocide under
a new administration, said campaign advisers for the presidential
candidates of both American political parties.

Republican nominee John McCain, and Philip Gordon, campaign advisor
to likely Democratic nominee Barack Obama, discussed the implications

Association and the Brookings Institute.
The source recalls, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's
top presidential candidate, has pledged to recognize the World War
