ArmInfo. The Republican Party’s 2008 Presidential nominee, Arizona
Senator John McCain, has publicly and properly recognized the Armenian
Genocide, breaking with his longstanding silence on this human rights
issue and, in the process, dramatically underscoring the post-election
retreat by his campaign opponent, President Barack Obama, from his
high-profile pledge to properly condemn and commemorate this crime,
reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
"I believe that genocide was committed against the Armenian people,
and I think there is ample documentation of that," Sen. McCain told
the Voice of America Georgian language service in an interview focusing
on the Caucasus as well as Armenia-Turkey relations.
