Armenian Genocide Recognition Process Gaining Strength in Europe and U.S.

The Armenian Diaspora of the U.S. anchors big hopes with the off-year election, the ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter in Washington. “The number of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues can reach 196. Turkey has reason for worrying, since the Armenian Genocide recognition process is gaining force not only in Europe but also in the United States. In case the democrats take majority of seats in the House of Representatives and in the Senate the situation may turn favorable for Armenians. The ANCA does not oppose democrats to republicans. The Genocide issue should be on the agenda after the re-election as well. Congressman Adam Schiff will submit the issue to the Committee on Foreign Relations,” the ANCA Executive Director said.
