STRANGE JOY

Today the US House of Representatives is discussing the bill on
recognizing the Armenian Genocide. It is hard to say what the
results of the vote may be, but it is even harder to say what it
will give to Armenian if this bill is approved or not. If the bill
is adopted by the House of Representatives, it does not mean yet
that the US will recognize the Genocide by all means, as many people
are trying to assure the Armenians. It is evident that this issue
concerns the Armenian-Turkish relations, and again the US is using
the issue of the Armenian Genocide to solve the problems with the
relations with Turkey. The only thing we can see now is the joy of
the faces of Armenian officials waiting for the discussion of the
House of Representatives. The Turkish authorities have numerously
announced that in such case the Armenian-Turkish protocols will be
failed. It is the protocol, which the Armenian authorities say are
fully corresponding with the interests of Armenia and "are the good
results of the initiating policy". In a word, if they really assure
that the issue of the protocols has a very big importance for Armenia
in this phase of the history, it should be more important than the
mid-term goal of the recognition, the result of which is rather cloudy
and suspicious. As for the joy the authorities demonstrate now, it
comes to prove that it is a good opportunity for them to fail the
adoption of the protocols.
