/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Our focus, this April as always, is to end
U.S. complicity in Turkey’s campaign of Armenian Genocide denial, to
press Turkey to acknowledge its responsibility for this crime, and to
work toward a just resolution for Armenian nation,’ Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian stated
in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. `As in past years, we will hold
a Congressional observance on Capital Hill and in local communities
around the nation. These events will build support for the adoption of
the Armenian Genocide Resolution and the effort to encourage President
Bush to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide in his April 24th
remarks. We are, of course, very interested in the controversy
surrounding Amb. Evans and are strongly opposing any steps to punish
or recall him due to his truthful statements on the Armenian
Genocide. Another special concern this April is PBS’s decision to
provide a platform for Genocide deniers – which we are strenuously
opposing at the national and grassroots levels,’ he said.
