/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly)
congratulated Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Joseph Biden Jr. (D-DE)
on a hard fought election victory.
"By all accounts this was an historic election which provides
a tremendous opportunity for all Americans," stated Assembly
Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "The new Administration will have
a far-reaching impact over the next four years. 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," continued Bryan Ardouny,
the Assembly told PanARMENIAN.Net.
The Obama-Biden ticket has consistently demonstrated a rejection
of the Bush Administration’s fundamentally flawed policy on this
critical human rights issue. Specifically, during their tenure in the
U.S. Senate and with respect to the removal of U.S. Ambassador John
M. Evans, and the subsequent nominations that ensued, both Senator
Obama and Senator Biden have pressed for affirmation of the Genocide.
