ARF Member of Parliament, head of the NA Commission on Foreign
Relations, Armen Rustamyan says there was a war of lobbies in the U.S.
House Committee on Foreign Relations. Many Congressmen mentioned in
their speeches that Turkey played a great role in helping the U.S. in
Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the adoption would harm the Armenian
and Turkish normalization process. This is the result of the work done
by the Turkish lobby.
As to the tactics of the Armenian lobby, Rustamyan said we need to
change it. According to him, the whole nation is to be engaged in this
issue to convince the Congressmen to vote for the resolution in the
Congress. The RA MFA is also to be engaged in this issue. In this
context, Edward Nalbandyan's interview to CNN, minutes before the
voting, was very important because we managed to precede Turkey, says
Rustamyan and adds that we have neither oil nor gas but we are true on
which our lobby is based.
