Ambassador’s recent written response to Senate inquiry caused
Armenians’ concern
Baku. Habil Suleymanzadeh – APA. The Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA) called for an apology from U.S. Ambassador to Turkey
Francis Ricciardone over his recent written response to a Senate
inquiry, APA reports quoting the committee’s website. In his written
response Francis Ricciardone said “Most of the Christian churches
functioning prior to 1915 are still operating as churches”.
Regarding it as false, the Armenian National Committee of America says
Francis Ricciardone remains committed to denying “Armenian genocide”.
The Committee demands apology from Ricciardone, otherwise threatens
him with recall.
