The signed historical protocols with Armenia are losing their attractiveness with each passing day. General evaluation by Washington shows that Ankara is to be blamed for the point we arrived at. The Obama administration is very negative about the future of this protocol and the \u201cgenocide\u201d resolution.<\/div>\n
If we gather evaluations and statements made by those monitoring upper-level authorities in Washington closely in this regard, then a totally different scenario from what we assumed emerges.<\/div>\n
One of the very first steps taken by the Obama administration in order to get rid of this genocide dilemma was to bring Turkey and Armenia together for a long process of discussion. Those who characterized this as a \u201cstep taken deliberately\u201d complain, \u201cWe spent a lot of effort and time.\u201d<\/div>\n
The same circles that draw attention to the process that started with a visit by the president and continued with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton focusing on this issue say that Turkey is responsible for what happened later on.<\/div>\n
According to the Americans, Turkey was not able to effectively convince Azerbaijan in time. People believe that after the signing the protocols it surrendered to Baku\u2019s brisk reaction too soon.<\/div>\n
The prime minister linking the condition of signing the protocols in Parliament to the Karabakh issue is perceived by them as a \u201cfatal stroke.\u201d<\/div>\n
And the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court they perceive as an \u201cintelligible reaction\u201d that does not hinder the protocol in harmony with the country\u2019s general atmosphere.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Genocide\u2019 resolution may pass this time<\/p>\n

It is being called attention to how the Obama administration will react when this now in Washington prioritized issue of \u201cgenocide\u201d resolution in respect to Turkey comes up in Congress.<\/div>\n
During Obama\u2019s election campaign he attracted attention saying that he would acknowledge the Armenian genocide and if there was no further development he\u2019d be forced to continue his attitude.<\/div>\n
The same authority says \u201cthe shortest and most effective way to change this situation is for Turkey to separate the Armenian protocols from a solution in Karabakh,\u201d knowing how difficult this is. But he can\u2019t restrain himself from saying, \u201cThere is no other way out.\u201d<\/div>\n
You see there are again black clouds gathering in Washington, as typical each year. The same scenarios will be played. Mutual threats, unnecessary tension and relations harmed.<\/div>\n
Will Washington just observe this situation?<\/div>\n
The following is the answer we get:<\/div>\n
\u201cCan you tell us what Turkey does to make Obama not lose his bonus by taking back his promise? Why should we put the president into a difficult situation only to please an Ankara that constantly beats Israel or is at adverse terms with us regarding Iran?\u201d<\/div>\n
Recently opponents of the AKP in Washington are able to more effectively make their views public. In the beginning the Obama administration did not pay much attention and continued supporting Erdo\u011fan. But this support has slowly eroded. They say, \u201cWe no longer can pretend not hear their voices. We have started to feel that something is fishy about Turkish foreign politics.\u201d<\/div>\n
This is the latest situation in the Armenian \u201cgenocide\u201d resolution, to the attention of all those who are related to the subject.<\/div>\n
