ANCA: PRESIDENT OBAMA CHOSE TO FOLLOW ANKARA’S GAG-RULE
18:03 24/04/2013 ” IN THE WORLD
ANCA responds to President Obama’s refusal to honor this pledge to
recognize the Armenian Genocide:
“Sadly, President Obama chose today not to lead, but rather to
follow Ankara’s gag-rule on his Administration’s condemnation and
commemoration of the Armenian Genocide. His public retreat, under
Turkish pressure, comes despite his own pledges to acknowledge this
crime and our government’s record, dating back more than half a
century, of having recognized the Armenian Genocide as a clear case
of genocide,” said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
“Our President’s complicity in Turkey’s denial of truth and its ongoing
obstruction of justice will not derail our progress toward a truthful,
fair, and comprehensive international resolution of Turkey’s still
unpunished crime against the Armenian nation.”
