Armenian Council of America (ACA) sent a letter to US President
Barack Obama and urged him to reaffirm his stance on the issue of
the Armenian Genocide during his speech on April 24.

President Obama during his previous visit to Turkey made references
to the Armenian Genocideon numerous occasions, and stated his views
are on the record and he had not changed them.

As a senator Obama had said America deserves a leader who speaks
truthfully about the Armenian Genocide and he intends to be that
president.

"Mr. President, you have been distinguished in upholding the pledges
you have made and have truly brought change in many policy areas. Will
the Armenian Genocide issue continue in your pattern of successful
achievements or will it be the exception? The Armenian Council
of America and the Armenian American community look forward to you
fulfilling your pledge in your statement on April 24th as you reaffirm
the American as well as your own record on the Armenian Genocide,"
is said in the address of ACA Chairman Vazgen Khodanian. -0–
