Armenian diaspora in United States deeply concerned of the protocols that are signed by Ankara and Yerevan administrations towards establishment of diplomatic relations. Applying to U.S. Congress, Armenian lobby in United States called US for immediate recognition of so called Armenian genocide.
The best clause in the protocols is agreement between Turkey and Armenia about establishment of a joint historians committee to research 1915 events. If the historians committee project could be realized issue of so called Armenian genocide will not be discussed by politicians but by historians. Furthermore, other than Turkish and Armenian historians, historians from third countries will also be included.
Leaving the decision that will be made by the independent historians committee, even the agreement on establishment of a historians committee is a diplomatical victory for Turkey.
Because it is not possible for third countries parliaments to pass resolutions recognizing so called Armenian genocide while Turkey and Armenia discussing 1915 events.
Criticizing Armenian officials over signing protocol agreements with Turkey and accusing Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan of betrayal, Armenian diaspora in United States started counter attack against Turkey’s Armenia initiative.
One of the most efficient Armenian organizations in United States Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has conveyed remarks of Armenian diaspora in America to the U. S. Congress regarding protocols on establishment of diplomatic ties between Turkey and Armenia.
ANCA stated that Armenia is forced to make dangerous concessions by Turkey. Armenian lobbying organization stated that Turkey’s moves towards establishing joint historians commission aims to call so called Armenian genocide into question and suspend its international recognition.
ANCA’s aim is to provide recognition of so called Armenian genocide by U.S. Congress before establishment of a historians committee to discuss the events by keeping U. S. Congress under pressure.
