The US Congress will discuss the Armenian Genocide Resolution introduced by Congressmen George Radanovich and Adam Schiff. Within the next several weeks the House Committee on International Relations will submit the new resolution on the Armenian Genocide”, Mr. Schiff said. To note, last time the Committee voted on the issue five years ago. Earlier member of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Adam Schiff submitted two draft resolutions. One of them confirmed the Armenian Genocide, the other condemned Turkey for imposing blockade upon Armenia. However the Congress refrained from discussing the projects. Mr. Schiff agreed to recall them on the condition that the House Committee on International Relations will consider his resolution. According to the Congressmen, this agreement does not guarantee the support of the committee chairman or its members. However during the recent 5 years the opportunity did not occur. “The resolution records of the Armenian Genocide and 1.5 million people killed at the beginning of the 20-th century. It also says that the US Congress acknowledges the Armenian Genocide”, the Congressmen added, RFE/RL reports.
