Armenian Genocide

Will the support without precedent of the Armenian community of the
United States, filled with enthusiasm by the repeated declarations
of the candidate to the American presidential nomination pay? We
would be once again in right to believe it? Did it employ the double
language knowingly with an aim of securing the Armenian voices
fully, knowing that it will be inevitably caught up with by the real
politik? Perhaps… or perhaps not. The months which will follow
nomination of the 44th US president us will say it.

It is true that the former senator of Ilinois hammered during the
presidential campaign, that in the name of the United States and
of the human rights, the Armenian Genocide was to be recognized and
recalled by the Congress and the President of the United States. That
precisely he had written itself by twice in George W. Bush to invite
it to refer expressly to the Armenian Genocide at the time of the
commemorative ceremonies. That in addition, Armenia must profit from
the American assistance to reinforce its democracy and to help to seek
a durable exit in the conflict of High Karabakh. And that finally it
was necessary to put a term at the blockades Turco-Azeri. Of which act.

For the Armenians, the proverb Â" Once bitten, twice shy Â", has been
however, more than ever of topicality, so much the recognition of
the Genocide suffered by the Armenian people in 1915 is a recurring
question in the USA for more than twenty years with the not held
promises of Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush junior.

Let us preserve despite everything the hope of a positive exit of the
Armenian questions supported by the Obama-Biden ticket which, according
to a majority of American analysts, would be the most laid out to cross
the border of the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide. The
more so as the insurance of this recognition was formulated, in a
convincing way, on several occasions with the persons in charge of
the Armenian National Council of America (ANCA). Will American dream
generate the Armenian dream? In more than one connection, the year
2009 will be historical. Answer on April 24.

In the light of Lincoln

Next on February 2, Barack Obama will have immense honor to celebrate
the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. A sign of the destiny for
that which, descendant of a black father, will return honor to
the US president which émancipated slaves by his Proclamation of
1863. Moreover and in parallel with the career of Abraham Lincoln,
Barack Obama was used 8 years in Illinois’s Senat, like Lincoln.
