Clinton: We cannot change the past we inherit, all we can do is try to have a better future

clintonPublic Radio of Armenia -- I don’t think that anyone has forgotten anything, said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an interview with Vladimir Pozner of Russia’s First Channel, while responding to a question by a viewer on why President Obama has forgotten about his campaign promise to recognize the Armenian Genocide and thus, support House Resolution 252.

“I don’t think someone forgot something. But what has happened that is of great import is the work going on between Turkey and Armenia,” she said.

The US State Secretary recalled that she had been in Zurich last fall with the foreign ministers of Turkey, Armenia, Russia, France, other countries to witness the signing of a set of protocols to normalize relationships between Armenia and Turkey. “In those protocols, there was an agreement between the two countries to establish a historical commission that would look at all of the issues that are part of the past,” said Secertary Clinton.

“And I think that's the right way to go, I think, to have the two countries and the two peoples focusing on this themselves. I have said many times we cannot change the past we inherit. All we can do is try to have a better future,” Clinton said, adding that the Turkey and Armenia are currently working to create the commission of historians.

yes we can does not work when you are in DC! I think washington has immunity to "yes we can" and there are certain amount of battles you can fight while in Washington, unfortunately the Armenian Genocide issue never makes the cut... i think by now we should've got this whatever promises the candidates make we cannot rely on that we should push the Congress and make our case on the Hill.
