With adopting the resolution, U.S. will contribute to consolidation of Armenia's state defenseDecember 5, 2007 - 14:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "The United States experiences shaky political situation at the moment and such a resolution can't be adopted at once. Majority of Congressmen recognized the Armenian Genocide as a historical fact, however, vote would be inexpedient now. In general, with adopting the resolution, the U.S. will contribute to consolidation of Armenia's state defense," Professor of international relations and politics at the San-Andres University of Buenos Aires, Khachik Ter-Ghukasyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "Situation in Middle East and Iraq is also tensed. The problem is not Kurdistan but in Iraq's further partition. Those who bind H.Res.106 with the Kurdish issue are deeply mistaken. Turkey would launch operations against Kurdish rebels anyway. It's quite another matter whether it will succeed. Opposition between Shiites and Sunnites is going on there," he said. "As to Middle East, the main thing for the U.S. is not the Palestine-Israel conflict but opposition with Iran, which has a serious potential to become a regional power with its nuclear program," he said.
