Israeli lobby is likely to increase efforts to adopt the Genocide Resolution in the Congress in the context of recent tension in Israeli-Turkish relations, source close to the U.S. Congress informed NEWS.am.

Meanwhile, Tel-Aviv’s official stance on the Armenian Genocide will not change even in the light of worsened relations with Turkey. However, he noted that deterioration in Israeli-Turkish relations is not deep-rooted. Besides, the chances for approval of Genocide Resolution are increased due to Washington’s negative reaction to Ankara which ruined Armenian-Turkish reconciliation. According to him, the Genocide Resolution may be discussed in Congress by the end of 2010 or in early 2011.
