In a statement issued to the White House, the Armenian Council of
America expressed its satisfaction towards the President’s actions
regarding the Darfur Genocide, but asked the President to have the
same moral concerns towards the reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide.
While the ACA statement praised President Bush for doing the
right thing Tuesday by increasing sanctions against the military
government in the Sudan, which has to take responsibility for the
Genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Darfur,
and displacing millions more, the ACA continued to ask the President
and his Administration to stop advocating against the reaffirmation
of the Armenian Genocide Resolution on the Capital Hill.
"It is the moral responsibility of the leader of the free world
to hinder acts of Genocides throughout the world. We commend the
President’s actions towards the Darfur Genocide and ask him to have
the moral strength to act with the same manor towards the Armenian
Genocide," read the ACA statement.
House Resolution 106 and Senate Resolution 106 call upon the President
to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects
appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related
to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the
United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide.
Currently the support for H.R. 106 and S.R. 106 has reached 195
members of within the U.S. House, and 30 members within the US. Senate.
