As April 24, the 90th anniversary of the Armenian incidents
approaches, Armenian intuitions in the US are attempting to make US
President George W. Bush recognize the alleged Armenian Genocide.
The Armenian Lobby is anticipated to hand in a Genocide bill to the
US Congress before April 24. The American National Congress of
Armenians (ANCA), which brings Radical Armenian institutions
together, has asked Armenians living in the US, to send a message to
the President and ask him to recognize the genocide. ANCA’s statement
says, “There are some problems in Turkish-American relations and we
have to take advantage of this.” It is also says that there have been
cracks recently in the US policy of denial of the Armenian Genocide.
The US Ambassador to Yerevan John Evans used the term Genocide for
the Armenian events in last century in his speech last week but wrote
two corrections on official US Yerevan Embassy web site. Evans made
clear in his apology that his use of the term genocide was incorrect
and there are no changes in US policy.
