/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The American National Committee of America reported that
Armenian Americans stood vigil in front of the Turkish Embassy on June 5,
calling attention to that government’s ongoing denial of the Armenian
Genocide, as Turkish and American government officials and industry leaders
attended a kick-off reception for the American Turkish Council (ATC) annual
conference, reported the Armenian National Committee of Greater Washington
(ANC-GW). ANC-GW representatives passed out flyers to reception attendees
informing them that the ATC `has used your good name to deny genocide – a
misguided act that embarrasses you, disgraces the Council, and calls into
question the core values of the company you represent.’ The flyer called on
ATC members to `perform a true service for U.S.-Turkey relations: Urge the
ATC and Turkey to stop denying the Armenian Genocide.’
