On the eve of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Washington,
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, reads press release by Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA).

According to ANCA, 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.

RA President Serzh Sargsyan is scheduled to hold meeting with Turkish
Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
