Obama won't be able to resist Armenian-Jewish lobby in Genocide recognition issue
Even a country like Turkey will find it hard to withdraw from Armenia-Turkey rapprochement process, according to the chairman of Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation.

"Should Turkey refuse to ratify Armenia-Turkey protocols, both U.S. President and Congress will recognize the Armenian Genocide," Stepan Grigoryan told a news conference in Yerevan.

"Recently Turkey established closer relations with Syria and Iran, to the detriment of Israel. In this context, U.S. Jewish lobby started to support Armenian Genocide recognition. If previously Obama could resist Armenian lobby in this issue, he will surely be unable to resist if Armenian and Jewish lobbies combine efforts," he concluded.
