BOSTON, AUGUST 28, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The heads of the
Jewish organization Anti-Defamation League (ADL) restored Andrew
Tarsi at his post of the director of the ADL US regional office,
"The Boston Globe" reported.

To recap, more than two weeks ago Tarsi was removed from his post
for calling on the ADL heads to recognize the Armenian Genocide and
to qualify publicly this reality as genocide.

The ADL head Abraham Foxman stated that after having a talk with Tarsi
in their Boston office, he decided to restore Tarsi at his position
and he is happy with his return.

Tarsi in his turn noted that the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
by Foxman caused the decision about his return.

Foxman added that the Turkish government’s pressure on them will
not prevent them from reconsidering their position on the issue
of Congress’ resolution No 106 recognizing the Armenian Genocide –
at the ADL forum scheduled for November 1.
