YEREVAN. – The United States untie Turkey's hands in its shameless struggle against international recognition of the Armenian Genocide, analyst Ruben Safrastyan said.

Safrastyan, director of Armenia Institute of Orientology, said escalation in Russia-West relations leads inevitably to the growth of Ankara's significance for U.S.

“Turkey felt the moment, trying to get every possible advantage,” Safrastayn emphasized. 

He noted that a few days after the adoption of Armenian Genocide resolution by the Senate Committe, the Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner paid an unexpected visit to Turkey.

During his stay in Ankara, Boehner assured Turkish leaders that the resolution does not have future because writing  of history is not the role of Congress.

“The visit apparently was the result of a deal between Washington and Ankara. Turkey got guarantees that the issue of Armenian Genocide recognition will not get further development,” he concluded.
