The party is preparing a document to address it to all member countries of the Council of Europe, as the Turkish Prime Minister's statement is a violation of Council of Europe's norms,  Heritage parliamentary group member Zaruhi Postanjyan told a briefing at the National Assembly of Armenia on March 19. 

 

She also described the recent statement by the Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon that the U.S. government cannot put pressure on Congress in the matter of adoption of Resolution 252 on the Armenian Genocide as a political act with unclear consequences. "Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Washington is necessary for the U.S. first of all," she said.
