One of the prominent “radical” organizations among Armenian lobby
groups in the US, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
has reacted with a seven article action plan to “protest genocide
denial” by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The plan wholly foresees using the US media to protest against the
administration of those who deny the genocide and for sending
bombardments of thanks to those who support them. Time magazine
apparently “ignored” the so-called genocide by distributing DVDs with
this months publication and was protested against by the lobby group
as the Washington Post, which accepted an advertisement denying the
“genocide”, will also be protested. The Armenian lobby plans to thank
The New York Times for publishing their advertisements. NBC TV was
harshly reacted to due to the manner of its objection relating to the
issue. The ANCA also plans to protest US President George W. Bush
“since he has not called on them to help end the ignorance regarding
the genocide” along with the US Secretary Department for not reacting
to the cancellation of the “genocide” conference that was due to be
held in Istanbul. The organization also called for support to the
so-called genocide draft that will be presented to the House of
Representatives.
