Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director
Aram Hamparian issued the following comment regarding Turkish Prime
Minister Davutoglu’s public remarks on the “deportation in 1915.”

“Facing a global wave of Armenian Genocide recognition – from the Pope
to the European Parliament – Turkey’s leaders are defiantly doubling
down on denial. Prime Minister Davutoglu’s fake apology today grants
no recognition, accepts no responsibility, expresses no regret,
and offers no reparations.”

“On April 24th, President Obama has a historic opportunity to reject
Turkey’s gag-rule, ending a shameful chapter of U.S. complicity in
Ankara’s denial, and moving Turkey, Armenia, and the region toward a
better future based upon a truthful and just resolution of this crime.”
