ArmInfo. Political considerations – whether Turkish threats, prospects
for Turkey-Armenia dialogue, or in any other form – should never stand
in the way of America’s willingness to condemn the Armenian Genocide,
or any genocide, and to stand up for the truth, says the statement
by ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian regarding upcoming April
24th U.S.
presidential statement marking the Armenian Genocide.
As President Obama so appropriately stated at the Holocaust
Commemoration in the Capitol Rotunda earlier today, "We have the
opportunity… to commit ourselves to resisting injustice, intolerance
and indifference in whatever forms they may take, whether confronting
those who tells lies about history or doing everything we can to
prevent and end atrocities like those that took place in Rwanda,
those taking place in Darfur."
‘We look forward to President Obama’s lifting America’s response to
the Armenian Genocide – and all genocides – to the level of American
values by honoring his pledge to fully and properly condemn and
commemorate this crime against all humanity’, A. Hamparian says.
