OBAMA MISSES OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE PLEDGE

WATCH VIDEO of President Obama discussing Armenian issues in Turkey
WASHINGTON, DC – Armenian National Committee of America Executive Director Aram Hamparian issued the following statement following President Obama’s remarks before
the Turkish Parliament.
“In his remarks today in Ankara, President
Obama missed a valuable opportunity to
honor his public pledge to recognize the
Armenian Genocide.”
“The President’s willingness to raise his commitment to recognizing the Armenian Genocide, even indirectly, in his remarks before the Turkish Parliament represents a step in the right direction, but far short of the clear promise he made as a candidate that he would, as President, fully and unequivocally recognize this crime against humanity. We expect that the President will, during Genocide Prevention Month this April, stand by his word, signaling to the world that America’s commitment to the cause of genocide prevention will never again be held hostage to pressures from a foreign government.”
