The Armenian Genocide Resolution (Res. 252) will be adopted if brought to a House floor
, senior Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) official Giro Manoyan has said.
"Of course, there is a high probability [that it will be adopted], but the main problem is to first of all bring the resolution to a vote," Manoyan told a press conference today.
"It is this question that we have been raising for the past 10 years," said Manoyan, adding that the resolution had reached certain phases but due to some pressures, was never brought to a vote.
Earlier on Friday, House majority leader Steny Hoyer announced that the House is set to adjourn for the week on December 21, to complete the legislative business for the 111th Congress which means that the House of Representatives may vote on the Armenian Genocide bill.
According to Manoyan, the Turkish parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs spares no effort to prevent the resolution from being brought to the House floor.
He also said that the Republicans are now a majority in the House, something that, according to him, may create other opportunities for Armenian issues.
"There is a chance, and it is desirable that the issue be brought to a vote at the earliest possible and be adopted by the House of Representatives," said he.
"Hopefully, the planned session will take place tomorrow, and the issue [resolution] will be brought to vote. The Armenian National Committee [of America] and the Armenian community are making great efforts over the issue," Manoyan said.
The Armenian Genocide Resolution "calls upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution."
It goes on to urge the president, in his "annual message commemorating the Armenian Genocide issued on or about April 24, to accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1,5 million Armenians as genocide and to recall the proud history of United States intervention in opposition to the Armenian Genocide."
