The Jewish lobby is likely to stop supporting Turkey and Armenia can
derive benefits from the situation, an Armenian expert told a news
conference in Yerevan today.
"U.S. President Barack Obama has two months to develop his
administration's stance on the Armenian issue. Besides, with the
Jewish support to Turkey waning, recognition of the Armenian Genocide
becomes more real," said Richard Giragosian, the new director of the
Armenian Center for National and International Studies (ACNIS).
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan walked off the stage
after an angry exchange with the Israeli President, Shimon Peres,
during a panel discussion on Gaza at the World Economic Forum last
week, and vowed never to return to the annual gathering.
"When it comes to killing, you know well how to kill," he told the
Israeli President.
