U.S. House of Representatives likely to vote on Armenian Genocide Resolution in September
"The Armenian Genocide Resolution, H. Res.106, is of utmost importance. It's a resolution which confirms the decisions taken in the Congress since 1970-ies. Moreover, the authors urge the President to use term 'genocide' in his annual April 24 statement," Kiro Manoyan, director of the ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office, told a news conference in Yerevan.
Passage of the resolution is a political act, according to him. "It's one the ways to exert pressure on Turkey. In my opinion, the voting will be scheduled for September, after the parliamentary and presidential elections in Turkey. I should also mention that the voting procedure is set by the Speaker," Kiro Manoyan said.
