    OBAMA'S GOING BACK ON HIS PROMISE WILL CAUSE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES

    If the U.S. president Barak Obama does not recognize the Armenian
    genocide, as he promised, it will have a political result for
    him. Stated the head of the Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office of the
    ARF Dashnaktsutyun Kiro Manoyan at the Hayacq press club. According
    to him, the political consequence will be the fact that Obama and
    other members of his party, who intend becoming senators, will lose
    the assistance of the Armenian community. "In the U.S. this entire is
    a result of a political calculation. Elections are held once every
    two years in the U.S.", says Kiro Manoyan. However, he is sure that
    Obama will fulfill his promise on April 24, maybe not the way Kiro
    Manoyan would like him to, but he will keep his word.

    As to the attitude of the Diaspora towards the fact that Armenia is
    negotiating with Turkey, which may cause the dissatisfaction within
    the Diaspora considering that it obstacles the genocide recognition,
    Kiro Manoyan says, that there is no such a complaint. "The Diaspora
    is not complaining of the negotiations between Armenia and Turkey, as
    everyone understands that the Armenian and Turkish relations will have
    to be established sooner or later. The important thing for us is not to
    cede out interests in result of the negotiations," stated Kiro Manoyan.

    In his opinion, one point should not be allowed to be on the
    agreement, which will doubt or will be commented as doubtful for the
    genocide. "Neither there should be a part which will obstacle Armenia
    to examine its rights," said the Dashnaktsutyun member. He stated that
    the Armenian Diaspora is not satisfied with the fact that Armenia is
    not presenting its stance as much as Turkey does.

    Kiro Manoyan noted that it is good for the Armenian government
    to have managed to leave out the Nagorno-Karabakh issue from the
    Armenian and Turkish relations negotiations, the proof of which is
    the dissatisfaction of Azerbaijan with the progress in the Armenian
    and Turkish relations and the perspectives for the border opening.

    In connection with the border opening Kiro Manoyan thinks positively;
    he thinks that Turkey will make a relevant step. "We think that
    our president is not willful to prolong the negotiations for
    years. Practical results are needed, and in case of their lack, the
    process may be considered failed. If there are this will mean that
    Turkey established relations with Armenia without any precondition and
    eliminated the blockade. I'm sure Turkey will do that this year. Or it
    will sign a document stating the establishment of diplomatic relations
    and will relieve the blockade", stated Kiro Manoyan.
