US Congress May Recognize Armenian Genocide, American Scholar Believes

01.11.2006 18:02

YEREVAN (YERKIR) - US Congressmen will to all appearance will adopt a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Georgetown University professor Clyde Wilcox believes. In his words, during the coming elections the Democrats have chances to have the majority at least at one of the Congress chambers.

Professor Wilcox noted that in case Democrats win the elections House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D - CA) will become Speaker and will do her best for adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution.

As a result, in the opinion of Clyde Wilcox, the House will pass a statement recognizing the Armenian Genocide. However, he added, for the resolution to have effect the Senate and President should also approve it, which the professor considered “incredible,” reported PanARMENIAN.Net.

Fat chance. Armenians always get their hopes up when made political promisses by politicians looking to get elected. Get real. It ain't going to happen. Realpolitic gets in the way - and Turkey holds all the cards.

I agree...to an extent. The defense contractors and hired guns will do whatever they can to stop it but at the same time if Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House; it could happen. In any event, it would probably take another last minute interference by the acting President to prevent passage again. Whatever happens, the fight will continue.

Amend the constitution to allow both to serve as co-VP's... that would be a kick ass combo...

Exactly. I don't believe any of them. Clinton had the bill on his desk and then Turkey threatened to Israel if the U.S. signed the bill. What nerve. So Clinton was told not to sign it for the sake of national security. He phone Dennis Hastert at the last minute and told him to kill the bill - must to the disgust of the house speaker. I'm American through and through, but our foreign policy needs a huge revamp in all areas.
