US Congress May Recognize Armenian Genocide, American Scholar Believes
US Congressmen will to all appearance will adopt a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Georgetown University professor Clyde Wilcox believes. In his words, during the coming elections the Democrats have chances to have the majority at least at one of the Congress chambers. Professor Wilcox noted that in case Democrats win the elections House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D - CA) will become Speaker and will do her best for adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution. As a result, in the opinion of Clyde Wilcox, the House will pass a statement recognizing the Armenian Genocide. However, he added, for the resolution to have effect the Senate and President should also approve it, which the professor considered "incredible," reports RFE/RL.
