/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In his eighth and final year in office, President
George W. Bush, today, again resorted to the use of evasive and
euphemistic terminology to obscure the full moral, historical, and
contemporary legal implications of Turkey’s genocide against the
Armenian people between 1915-1923, reported the Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA).

"This April 24, President Bush’s last in office, he completed his
eight-year long betrayal of his campaign commitment to properly
recognize the Armenian Genocide," said Aram Hamparian, Executive
Director of the ANCA.

"The President not only failed to honor his promise to recognize
the Armenian Genocide, but used the full force of his White House to
block Congress from taking the very step he himself had pledged to
undertake as a candidate for office. He not only fired a sitting U.S.

Ambassador who had the courage to honor his president’s forsaken
pledge by speaking truthfully about this crime, but then went on to
nominate a genocide denier to take his place. He not only pursued
patently anti-Armenian policies throughout his two terms in office,
but never once – amid his many meetings on Armenian-related issues
with foreign leaders – agreed to discuss these concerns with the
leadership of the Armenian American community."
