Armenians in the U.S. urge President Barack Obama to reject the recent
decision by the federal appeal court which prohibits the descendants of
victims of the 1915 events to file against foreign insurance companies
demanding payment of the unpaid insurance policies.

Armenian National Committee of America sent the letter to Barack Obama
expressing his indignation not only at this fact, but in general
administration’s policy regarding recognition of the "Armenian
Genocide."

"This is the official policy of executive branch of the United States
to actively oppose the recognition of this event and prevent adoption
of laws to help Armenians return their property," ANCA Chairman Ken
Hachikian said in a letter.

He recalled Obama has broken promises to recognize the "Armenian
Genocide" which he gave during the election campaign due to which he
gained support of the Armenian community in the United States.

Armenians of America also upset with the White House’s support for the
"road map" by Turkey and unprecedented pressure exerted on Armenia
by the U.S. State Department to create a commission of historians,
the idea promoted by Ankara for a long time.

Khachikyan insists on a private meeting to discuss these issues.
