Even if the U.S. Congress passes the resolution on the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey in 1915-1923, Barack Obama would impose on a veto, U.S. politician, president of the Institute for Transitional Democracies Bruce Jackson said.

In an interview with the Turkish edition of “Zaman” Jackson said in fact that the adoption of resolution on the Genocide, as well as other foreign policy issues, after intense congressional elections will not be the subject of extensive discussion among the newly elected congressmen.

“In general, members of the House of Representatives of the Republican Party believe that the recognition of the Armenian resolution is not a matter of U.S. foreign policy” he said.

As reported earlier by NEWS.am, Over 90% of ANCA-backed candidates won midterm elections in U.S. on November 2.

On the House side, ANCA endorsed 158 candidates in 31 states. Of this total, 152 were incumbents, of which, as of 2:00 am on November 3rd, only seven were reported to have lost their re-election bids. Each of the six non-incumbents endorsed and backed by the ANCA won their elections, including, most notably Michael Grimm, who, with the energetic support of ANCA activists in New York, unseated Armenian Genocide Resolution opponent Rep. Michael McMahon.

Among the key winners were Congressman Eric Cantor, who will likely be the House Majority Leader, and Thaddeus McCotter, who is also set to remain in the Republican leadership.
