Representative Frank Pallone, Jr, co-chairman of the Congressional
Caucus on Armenian Issues, made the following statement after
President Bush’s proclamation on the 91st anniversary of the start of
the Armenian Genocide: “The President should have used today’s 91st
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide to promote a United States
foreign policy that reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity
to human rights, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Instead, President
Bush failed, once again, to honor his pledge to properly characterize
the Armenian Genocide as “genocide” in his annual April 24th
remarks. Despite a plea by over 200 Members of Congress last week, he
continues to avoid any clear reference to the Armenian Genocide.”

“It’s time the U.S. government recognizes these actions as genocide so
that we can renew our commitment to prevent such atrocities from
occurring again. By properly affirming the Armenian Genocide, we can
also help to ensure its legacy and rightfully honor its victims and
survivors,” Frank Pallone concluded.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
