TOO SOON TO TRIUMPH

The fact that the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee approved of HR106 the Armenian Genocide Resolution does not mean that the US recognizes the Armenian Genocide. This is the approach of the participants of a survey conducted by “A1+” in the streets of Yerevan.

“This has not given or will give anything to Armenians. Nothing will change, until Bush admits this. This is just a game. If the genocide is not admitted until today, then no one will admit it now. We will not gain anything, moreover, we should exclude the possibility of returning the territory of Western Armenia”, said Tamara Hakobyan.

Gohar Petrosyan, an architect, is an optimist in this case. She considers that the adoption of the Genocide bill by the US Government would be a progressive opportunity for us.

“The adoption of the Resolution will reestablish the justice, which will give us material advantages and we will gain much from moral point of view”, says Karlen Gevorgyan.

Many citizens consider that we should gain something, since Armenians have fought for reinstating their rights about a century.

“At last they recognized Armenia as a country that has suffered much in this fight, but we doubt whether the Congress would adopt it or not”, said Iskuhi Kyurkchyan.

We should remind that the US House of Representatives has not adopted the bill on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide yet.
