Armenian Genocide one of popular themes in Washington
Armenian Genocide is the priority topic regarding Armenia discussed in Washington, said Emil Sanamian, editor of The Armenian Reporter weekly.

As to normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, he said, "Turkish lobby represents the interests of Turkish government. Armenian Americans speak out against protocols but for normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations and the U.S. administration with numerous trends."

"Turkey is positive about the protocols but it doesn't mean that it wants to normalize relations with Armenia," Sanamian said.
