MANAGEMENT OF ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF AMERICA CALLS FOR END TO U.S. COMPLICITY IN TURKEY’S DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Yerevan, February 6. ArmInfo. The management of the Armenian National
Committee of America has addressed the USA Senate with a call a end
to U.S. complicity in Turkey’s denial of the Armenian Genocide. The
ANCA’s written testimony was submitted as part of the inaugural
hearing of the newly created Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Human
Rights and Law, titled "Genocide and the Rule of Law", which included
remarks by Canadian Senator Romeo Dallaire, Deputy Assistant Attorney
General Sigal Mandelker, actor and activist Don Cheadle, and American
University College of Law Professor Diane F. Orentlicher. "Today,
as we witness the genocide unfolding in Darfur, it has become
increasingly clear that the failure of the international community,
over the course of the past century, to confront and punish genocide
has created an environment of impunity in which the brutal cycle of
genocide continues," began ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian,
in his testimony.
