Уф, на этот год все! Сотрем, начнем сначала. Хорошо сегодня сказал главный редактор кипрского журнала Gibrahayer Симон Айнеджян.- Для нас не столь важно, примут ли американские конгрессмены резолюцию 252 о Геноциде армян. Главное, что этот вопрос поднимается каждый год .
PELOSI FAILS TO SCHEDULE VOTE ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
-- House Democratic Leadership Blocks Bipartisan Majority from
Voting on Genocide-Prevention Measure
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. House Democratic Leadership failed today
to schedule a vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H,Res.252,
despite support for this human rights measure from a broad
bipartisan majority, killing the prospects for the passage of this
legislation during this session of Congress, reported the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA).
ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian issued the following statement in
response to U.S. House Democratic Leadership's decision:
"Armenian Americans are angered and disappointed by the failure of
Speaker Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership to honor their
commitment to allow a bipartisan majority to vote for passage of
the Armenian Genocide Resolution."
"Speaker Pelosi clearly had the majority, the authority, and the
opportunity to pass the Armenian Genocide Resolution, yet refused
to allow a vote on this human rights measure."
"The Speaker chose not to move forward, in the face of broad
bipartisan backing for this human rights measure, including from
the current House leadership and the incoming Majority Leader and
Majority Whip, and despite both the relatively muted opposition
from the White House, and the fact that Turkey's effectiveness in
opposing its adoption was seriously undermined by controversial
policies on the part of Ankara toward Iran, Israel, and Sudan that
have angered lawmakers."
"Her decision to not move this legislation forward during her four
years as Speaker represents a failure of Congressional leadership
on human rights and, sadly, a setback to America's standing in the
struggle to end the cycle of genocide."
"Coming in the wake of President Obama's string of broken promises
to recognize the Armenian Genocide, Speaker Pelosi's refusal to
schedule a vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution represents a
major breach of trust with Armenian American voters."
"Although sharply disappointed by the Speaker's unwillingness to
schedule a vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution, we were,
throughout this session of Congress, tremendously encouraged by the
scope and depth of support for the Armenian Genocide Resolution,
not only from a bipartisan majority of Congress but also from a
growing cross-section of American civil society. We look forward
to building on our progress and to continuing the work of the
Armenian American community for a strong U.S. moral stand on the
Armenian Genocide, an end to Turkey's campaign of denial, and a
truthful and just resolution of this still unpunished crime against
the Armenian nation."
