AMERICAN ARMENIANS CALL ON SARGSYAN TO SPEAK ABOUT GENOCIDE TETE-A-TETE WITH OBAMA
Tert.am
12.04.10
On the eve of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Washington,
DC for the Nuclear Summit, leading Armenian civic, religious and
social service organizations have called on the Armenian leader to
urge President Barack Obama to honor his pledge to recognize the
Armenian Genocide and reject Turkish government efforts to use the
Turkey-Armenia Protocols to delay international affirmation of this
crime against humanity, reported the Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA).
The April 9th letter cited the Armenian American community’s ongoing
efforts to secure U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide, including
the recent House Foreign Affairs Committee favorable consideration
of the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.252).
The letter goes on to urge President Sargsyan to stand by his own
words against the misuse of a so-called "historical commission" to
call into question the Armenian Genocide, and also to directly call
upon President Obama and other international leaders to recognize
the Armenian Genocide.
The signatories pressed the Armenian President to announce that the
Turkey-Armenia Protocol discussions cannot continue "given Turkey’s
unconstructive and antagonistic posture" throughout the process.
