On January 15 the Armenian Lobby in the USA is going to introduce a message-resolution in the House of representatives to President George Bush about using the word ‘genocide’, told Kiro Manoyan, the ‘Hay Dat’ office chairman in Yerevan, to journalists on Thursday. In his words, a great opportunity opens for turning to President Bush through US House of Representatives. Manoyan informed beginning from 2005 the Armenian Lobby uses such method for turning to the president.
At the same time he thinks that the inclusion of the Armenian Genocide issue into the foreign policy agenda of Armenia is a correct step. “If we take off this question from the foreign policy agenda we will reduce possibilities to exert pressure on Turkey. The experience of 1991-1998 shows that when the Genocide issue was not included in the agenda of official Yerevan, Turkey imposed a blockade on Armenia.’ he summed up, ‘Novosti Armenia’ reports.
