WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 5, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian
Assembly of America congratulated Democratic Party candidate Barack
Obama on the occasion of winning the U.S. presidential elections.

Welcoming Obama’s promise to bring changes, which was the campaign
slogan of the Democratic Party candidate, the Armenian Assembly of
America emphasizes that the American Armenians expect changes in a
number of spheres of the United States’ policy.

In particular, as it was mentioned in the Assembly’s statement,
several key issues to the Armenian-American community include reversing
the Anti-Evans Doctrine, ending attempts to isolate Armenia, ending
genocide denial, ensuring the promotion and protection of human rights
consistently around the world, and a peaceful and just resolution of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

According to the statement, Anti-Evans Doctrine was formulated by
the Bush Administration to remove Ambassador John M. Evans after he
acknowledged the Armenian Genocide in 2005. The Assembly looks forward
to the immediate revocation of the Anti-Evans Doctrine, and in its
place ensure that all U.S. diplomatic and foreign policy personnel are
made fully aware of the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide
and are allowed to speak the truth freely.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
