/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In all respects, April 24th 2009 will be one of the
most important dates in the history of the Armenian people. In fact,
great hope has been instilled since President Barak Obama’s promise
to have the Armenian Genocide officially recognized. However, in spite
of this, the President may opt for a cautious approach considering the
strategy set forth by Turkey, which consists in preventing this stand,
supposedly in order not to hinder the openness pursued with Armenia.
This is why it is of utmost importance to encourage the Whitehouse
to issue its opinion on the Armenian Genocide on April 24th 2009,
French journalist Jean Eckian reported to PanARMENIAN.Net.
Mr. President, Armenians from the United States and around the world
trust you.
Your predecessors had also promised to use the word Genocide
to qualify the massacres of 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire. Unfortunately, they did not keep their promises. Please make
the CHANGE and give acknowledgment to a people and their ancestors that
have awaited for so long. Armenians became the cuckolds of geostrategy.
Mr. President, you entered the world’s stage through the large
door. Your historical presidency will be inscribed in the handbook
of future generations.
Hoping that you will put an end to the deafening silence of the
greatest democratic nation on earth to qualify the first genocide of
the 20th century.
Along with the millions of other Armenians, survivors and their
decedents now living around the world, we respectfully request that
you adopt a resolution acknowledging the Armenian Genocide.
Submitted with all due respect for all you have accomplished for this
Nation, as well as for all we hope you will accomplish.
