In case US President Barack Obama fails to mention the genocide in
his April 24 speech, he will come across political consequences,
Director of ARF Dashnaksutyun Bureau Hay Dat and Political Affairs
Office Kiro Manoyan told journalists, Wednesday.
"He promised this to all of us and should respect his promise",-
Manoyan said. Obama should also respect those whom he gave this
promise, otherwise political consequences may arise, he added.
Manoyan thinks that Barack Obama will pronounce the word
"genocide". "As an adherent of changes and new approaches, Barack
Obama promised over his election campaign to recognize the fact of
the Armenian Genocide, this undoubtedly being the result of political
considerations in the USA",- he said.
Touching upon improvement of Armenian-Turkish relations,
Manoyan pointed out that Armenian diplomacy managed to take the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem out of these relations. To prove his words,
Manoyan pointed at the refusal of Aliyev Jr. to participate in the
forum "Alliance of Civilizations" in Turkey.
The Armenian Genocide is the first genocide of the 20th century. The
Genocide of Armenians has been recognized by Uruguay, Russia, France,
Lithuania, the Lower Chamber of Italian Parliament, the majority of
American States, the Greek, Cyprian, Argentinean, Belgian Parliaments,
the Parliament of Wales, the National Council of Switzerland, the
House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament and Polish Seim. Turkey
denies the genocide of 1,5 million Armenians in 1915-1923.
