The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has welcomed TIME
Magazine’s newly announced policy of properly characterizing the
Armenian Genocide as clear instance of genocide, as well as a series
of other moves taken by this leading international newsweekly to atone
for its mistaken distribution, in June of 2005, of a DVD denying this
crime against humanity.
TIME’s actions come in the wake of an amicable agreement reached
between the publication and the ANCA’s Brussels-based European
affiliate – the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy
(EAFJD), along with the Armenian National Committee of France (CDCA),
the California Courier, and a range of leading community and human
rights organizations.
"We welcome TIME Magazine’s judgment that – in the interest of its
readers’ right to accurate reporting – the Armenian Genocide should be
reported as a fact, without qualification," said ANCA Executive
Director Aram Hamparian. "This announcement by TIME, along with
similar policy statements by the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and
many other leading publications, only increases the pressure on the
Administration to abandon its morally bankrupt complicity in the
Turkish government’s denial of its crime against the Armenian nation."
