    APA – American Turks and Azeris say no to US intervention in Turkey’s religious affairs

    Washington. Isabel Levine – APA. American Turks and Azerbaijanis have started a new campaign to protect Turkey’s rights, APA’s Washington DC correspondent was told by Azerbaijani Diaspora.

    The US Senate Resolution introduced on May 24 for the U.S. Congress to demand Turkey to grant special international privileges to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Istanbul, bypassing the Constitution and secular laws of that country.

    The resolution contradicts the founding principles and the Constitution of the US by seeking the federal government institution to interfere in sovereign religious affairs of a foreign country.

    Turkish, Azeri and Turkic-Americans oppose H. Res. 196 by sending the Pax Turcica Capwiz action letter to their elected representatives and local media.

    US Turks and Azeris call on all friends and supporters to join the campaign.

    ACTION ALERT Call President Obama

    Stand up
    Dear Friends and Members of the Turkish-American Community:

    Azerbaijani and Turkish American organizations throughout America have initiated a major campaign to urge President Obama not to use the term “genocide” if his Administration chooses to make a statement regarding events that occurred in the Ottoman Empire in 1915.

    To date, no American President has described the events of 1915 as genocide.  Unlike many other tragedies and massacres, whether the Armenian case constitutes genocide is widely disputed.  The Armenia allegation of genocide has even been rejected by the United Nations.

    We urge Turkish Americans and friends of Turkey to send their messages to President Obama and Congress NOW!

    Please click on the following links to take urgent action:
    • Click here to send your message to President Obama not to use the term “genocide” when describing the sad events in the Ottoman Empire in early 1900’s.
