Jointly with Armenian communities, WAC will oppose Turkish propaganda
Adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H. Res.106, by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs is a good message," President of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) and World Armenian Congress (WAC), Ara Abrahamyan told a news conference in Yerevan.
Jointly with the Armenian communities throughout the world, the WAC will resolutely oppose Turkey's propaganda of denial, he said.
"We should not forget that Turkey is U.S. strategic ally and that the U.S. is conducting war in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, I am confident that all Armenian organizations should work for passage of the resolution in the full House of Representatives. Unfortunately, the WAC did not succeed in establishing an office in the United States so far," Mr Abrahamyan said.
At that, the UAR President voiced discontent with the Armenian media, which, in his opinion, fails to properly cover the Genocide issue.
"We have not yet decided the steps that will follow the Armenian Genocide recognition by the international community. Presently, the most important task for us is recognition. The WAC has published a three-volume edition containing documents and proofs of the fact of Genocide. With consent of the Armenian authorities, we are ready to appeal to the International Court. However, there are reasons not allowing the republic's leaders to resort to the move," Mr Abrahamyan said.
