The US Congress has been introduced to a resolution project on the Armenian Genocide, ITAR-TASS reports.
It was initiated by Senators Mark Kirk and Robert Menendez. Previous attempts to pass recognition of Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire failed, the US government never used the term “genocide”.
US President Barack Obama did not deny chances for recognition of the tragedy, although he avoided the topic since taking the office. Obama’s administration did its best to fail the voting for the process in March 2010 to avoid tensions with Turkey.
