The Armenian community in the United States and the Hay Dat (Armenian
Cause) Committee are disappointed with U.S. President Barack Obama’s
work over the last year, particularly with his failing to keep his
election pledges – recognition of the Armenian Genocide, development
of the U.S.-Armenia relations and increase of assistance — Elizabeth
Chuljian, Press Secretary of the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA), told NEWS.am.

"Now there has to be an opportunity before April 24 for him to specify
his viewpoint. In this case the Armenian community and Hay Dat will
continue working with not only the Obama administration, but also with
the U.S. Congress, because it is high time for the United States to
specify its position and recognize the Armenian Genocide," she said.

In this context Chuljian said that Hay Dat will continue working
with U.S. Congress members and Senators from Massachusetts. "Also,
letters should be addressed to President Obama to remind him that
he has gone back on his pledges over the last year – and not only
concerning the Armenian Cause," the ANCA representative said.
