Theoretically the Armenian Genocide resolution may be included in the congressional agenda, Armina Darbinian, country director of the Armenian Assembly of America, told the journalists today.

“We do not lose heart. Regardless of whether the resolution is included or not we will continue our resolute work,” she said. According to her, adoption of the bill is important for U.S. and President Barack Obama in particular.

“It is not the issue to use controversy between Turkish and Israeli lobbies to find a favorable moment to railroad the resolution. It is a problem related to human rights,” she said, adding that solution to the problem should be reached openly and frankly regardless of political developments.

If U.S. claims it bears the title of a democratic country, then adoption of the resolution is in its   interests, she stated.

Darbinyan considers the resolution was left off the agenda, as U.S. made a choice between morality and benefit.

“The Armenian Assembly of America is trying not to link resolution with the Armenian-Turkish relations, or the Karabakh peace process, as well as consider it in the context of deteriorated Israeli-Turkish relations. They are trying to make us a tool, but we must try to resist it,” Darbinian concluded.
