I don't think that anyone has forgotten anything, said US Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton in an interview with Vladimir Pozner of
Russia's Channel One, while responding to a question by a viewer
on why President Obama has forgotten about his campaign promise to
recognize the Armenian Genocide and thus, support House Resolution 252.
Clinton said that what's important is the work going on between Turkey
and Armenia. The US State Secretary recalled that she had been in
Zurich last fall when the foreign ministers of Armenia and Turkey
signed the Protocols to normalize Armenia-Turkey relations.
"And in those protocols, there was an agreement between the two
countries to establish a historical commission that would look at
all of the issues that are part of the past.
And I think that's the right way to go, I think, to have the two
countries and the two peoples focusing on this themselves. I have
said many times we cannot change the past we inherit. All we can do
is try to have a better future," said Clinton, adding that Turkey and
Armenia are currently working on creating the commission of historians.
