US Congress doesn't need Armenia's help to recognize the Genocide
''Armenia does not interfere with US Congress affairs, the congressmen themselves, drawing on historical document and evidence, declare the incontestable fact of the Armenian Genocide.

They don't need our help, and I find it insulting when some politicians say views of RA and Diaspora differ in this issue, " RA President Serzh Sargsyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

He reminded that some US Congressman supported Armenian Genocide recognition, whereas others asserted that the time for it hasn't yet come. Yet no one doubted the fact of the Genocide in 1915, RA President emphasized.

''Should USA be interested in Armenian Genocide recognition, we won't have to wait long for resolution passage. The genocide recognition has no connection with Armenian-Turkish negotiations. The situation will not change even if USA recognizes the Armenian Genocide, especially as we do not intend to interfere in the matter," Serzh Sargsyan said.
