KIRO MANOYAN: “U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL ADOPT H. RES. 106”
Support A1+!Over ten congressmen, both Republicans and Democrats, have withdrawn their signatures supporting the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H. Res. 106), the “New York Times” reports. In the result, the number of the congressmen backing the measure has reduced.
“The adoption of the resolution will break off USA-Turkey relations. Obviously, the congressmen withdrew signatures under the pressure of the White House. But there is no need to panic,” the head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan told A1+. Kiro Manoyan is confident that H. Res. 106 will be adopted at the plenary session of the US House of Representatives, and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi will move ahead with a vote on a resolution.
As for Turkey's Prime Minister Rejep Erdoghan's announcement that people defaming Turkey in this way will “be backfired,” Manoyan said, “It is a mere blackmail. It is not Turkey’s official position. Currently, 215 congressmen second the measure.”
Manoyan's suggestions are based on the fact that the U.S. Administration is currently searching for alternative airports in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which means that the White House has real fears that the measure may pass, and Turkey will block the Incirlik air base.
The Genocide issue is a means to keep the Armenian Issue vivid and present it to international circles in a comprehensible language, Kiro Manoyan says.
