I do not rule out that U.S. President Barack Obama will recognize
Armenian Genocide, ARFD faction head Vahan Hovhannisyan told the
journalists February 10. He also added that the U.S.

presidents' decision will depend on the draft resolution that Foreign
Affairs Committee will introduce to Congress.

Commenting on a decision to call a committee vote for Genocide
resolution, Hovhannisyan underlined that examination of the issue is
possible thanks to Armenian lobby efforts and U.S. does not try to
pressurize Turkey.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman has scheduled
a vote of his panel on the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.252)
for March 4, 2010.
