Armenians in US threaten Bush

“If George Bush does not admit to ‘Massacre of Armenians’ in April
2005, on the eve of the 90th anniversary of the ‘massacre’, Armenians
in the United States will resort to severe protest actions against
him, said an article by Harut Sasunian, editor-in-chief of Courier
newspaper published in California, US.

The publication said that non-recognition of the so-called ‘massacre’
may turn out costly for the Bush administration and that this is
explained by the double standard approach to the issue in the world.
It says that the US representative in the United Nations John
Denford allegedly sent a letter to the UN Secretary General Kofi
Annan demanding that the ‘Massacre of Armenians’ be recognized at
the January 24, 2005 UN General Assembly session.

Chairman of the “Organization for recognition of March 31 Massacre
of Azerbaijanis” (1918) has dismissed the statement as groundless. He
said that in reality, the ongoing occupation of Azerbaijani territories
and the Khojaly massacre perpetrated by Armenia against Azeris show
that a double standard is being applied against Azerbaijan.

“With the international community being aware of the truth, the lack
of pressure on Armenia proves that certain countries are turning a
blind eye to all of Armenia’s illegal actions.*
