Unlike the previous years, the existence of the Armenian-Turkish
protocols creates new obstacles for putting the Armenian Genocide
Resolution (H. Res. 252) on the agenda of the plenary session of the
Congress, member of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artsvik Minasyan told a
press conference today.
Although the MP says the bill will hardly be put on the agenda of
the plenary session, he adds that "everything depends on how the US
policy in the region, especially Turkey, will change."
Artsvik Minasyan said "Armenia's initiatory policy has completely
failed, and it has caused harm to both Armenia's international image
and the opportunities of inner unity."
According to Artsvik Minasyan, the famous statement by the Turkish
Prime Minister evidences that that country's attitude towards Armenia
has not changed. This was a surprise for the mediators, as well, and
the MP considers that one of the main tasks of the Armenian diplomacy
is to draw the attention of the mediator countries to the fact that
Turkey's attitude towards ethnic Armenians has not changed.
"We have to withdraw from the process as soon as possible. Turkey
and its authorities have provided us with this opportunity," Artsvik
Minasyan says, adding that the protocols counter the national interests
of Armenia.
"These protocols and this process have already caused a lot of damage.
The unity of world-spread Armenians is endangered today," the MP said.
