The Armenian Genocide resolution will be submitted to the U.S. Congress January 30. The Armenian Assembly of America (AAA), one of the most influential lobbying organizations, carried out a great deal of work to promote the resolution. Arpi Vartanian, the AAA Regional Director for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh comments to PanARMENIAN.Net on the Armenian Genocide recognition issue and Hrant Dink's assassination.

Hrant Dink's assassination according to a number of experts, can seriously influence on public atmosphere in Turkey, as well as strengthen the tension in the country before coming presidential elections in May of 2007. The specialist in Turkic philology Ruben Safrastyan, the head of Oriental Studies Institute of the RA NAS (National Academy of Sciences) comments on possible consequences of the murder.
