/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Already in 70s of the 20th century US and Turkish
Governments worked closely to prevent recognition of the Armenian
Genocide by the UN. According to the Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA), lately unclassified documents of the US State
Department show it. These documents mainly represent US State
Department correspondence with the American delegation to the UN and
Ambassador to Turkey and contain recommendations how to cooperate with
the Turkish Government and the Turkish delegation to the UN not to
admit recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

«Documents shed light on the fact of close cooperation between the US
and Turkish Governments in denial of the Armenian Genocide,» ANCA
Executive Director Aram Hamparian said.
