PanARMENIAN.Net - "Genocide should be recognized at least because Turkey denies it. No one will ever think of denying the Holocaust. Imagine, if one day the whole world agrees with Iran, which claims there was no Holocaust," AAA Country Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, Arpi Vartanian said in an interview with PanARMENIAN. Net.



"Discussion of H.Res.106 caused a stir. People, who did not know where Turkey is situated, learned about what happened over 90 years ago. But this is not what we expect from the Resolution. I am confident that the Congressmen will make the right decision since the U.S. is considered a leader in the free world, upholding justice, democracy, truth, freedom. If that is the role the U.S. wants to continue in, it cannot pick and choose which issues to uphold," she said.
