accompanied by political organizers from Washington DC, along with
hundreds of activists, many from Florida and many traveling from
several states away, joined together to rally against Armenian Genocide
denier and Cyprus invasion denier Congressman Robert Wexler (D-19).
CANA Press Officer, Nikolaos Taneris delivered an impassioned
address reminding the community of Wexler’s abysmal record in
regards to Cyprus, and the long-lasting horrors of Turkey’s criminal
military-occupation, many local Cypriots attended the rally and held
up placards with the messages "End Turkish Military Occupation of
Cyprus" and "Turkey Out of Cyprus", as well as "End Turkish Fascism."
Armenian community leader Albert Mazmanian, Chairman of the ANC of
S. Florida., commented "The ANC of South Florida felt it was time to
voice our concerns about Congressman Wexler. Enough is enough. It is
time for change, and to elect someone who will represent Florida’s 19th
District. We now have a candidate who is the right man for the job, and
the Armenian and Greek communities stand by him one-hundred percent."
CANA consultant John Bosnitch, commented on Wexler "he is in the
pocket of the big money Turkish lobby denying the illegal occupation of
Cyprus…Wexler’s denial of the past Genocide of Armenians is strike
one, Wexler’s support of the present Genocide of Greeks in Cyprus is
strike two, Wexler’s support of the future Genocide of Kosovo Serbs
is strike three…lets be Americans about this.. Mister Wexler,
three strikes you’re out," GIBRAHAYER e-magazine reports.
