Washington. Isabel Levine - APA. US Azeri and Turkish Diasporas are
pulling out all the stops to convince US lawmakers not to proceed with
a possible vote on the "Armenian Genocide" Resolution (H.Res.252) in a
House vote tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, at the last "lame-duck"
session of the Congress, APA's Washington DC correspondent reports.
The Diasporas sent a letter to President Barack Obama, as well as
Senate and House of Representatives on Monday asking to prevent a
possible House vote on a resolution.
US State Department has declared that they are closely working with
Congress in terms of failure of such kind of documents' passage.
Meanwhile, Armenian American and "pro-genocide" activists across
the United States continue to mobilize in support of a vote on the
resolution.
Last week the California-based Armenian Youth Federation launched a
public defamation campaign against the Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe
Bryant for his contract to promote the Turkish Airlines. The Armenian
pressure group is demanding Bryant to reject the deal or to accept
its one-sided interpretation so-called "Armenian genocide".
In their letter to President Obama, Azerbaijani-American Council
members are reminding that the actions of Armenian-American groups come
amidst an investigation over a $163 million Medicare scam, the largest
fraud in the history of US health care system, by an Armenian-American
crime ring with connections to Armenian government officials. In
addition, the US diplomatic cables published last week by the site
Wikileaks uncovered the fact of Armenia's shipment of weapons to Iran
in 2008. According to the information from the US embassy in Armenia,
the shipment to Iran, made not without the knowledge of Armenian
President Sargsian, ended up in the hands of Shiite militia in Iraq:
"We join all Turkic-Americans to express my strong disapproval of the
actions of Armenian-American groups and strongly believe that instead
of racist attacks against the favorite basketball star or attempts to
legislate controversial history in the US Congress, Armenian-American
groups could better expend their efforts to address serious issues
arising in their community," it says.
