ARMENIAN GENOCIDE DENIAL FOSTERS WAVES OF ANTI-ARMENIAN INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY – ANCA
August 06, 2013 | 13:17
Armenian Genocide denial fosters new waves of anti-Armenian intolerance
within Turkey, ANCA Executive Director of the Armenian National
Committee of America Aram Hamparian said.
“Turkey’s obstruction of justice has, over the course of nearly a
century, allowed Ankara to consolidate its hold on the genocidal gains
of its crimes against the Armenian people, blocking the return to the
Armenian nation of key elements-indispensable elements-of viability
that long sustained the Armenian people on their ancient homeland,”
Hamparian said.
“This denial poisons Armenian-Turkish relations, fosters wave after
wave of anti-Armenian intolerance within Turkey, threatens Armenia’s
and Artsakh’s security, and, of course, fuels regional tensions.”
Introduced and spearheaded by Congressmen David Valadao (R-CA), Adam
Schiff (D-CA), Michael Grimm (R-NY) and Frank Pallone (D-NJ) in May
of this year, the Armenian Genocide Truth and Justice Resolution
reflects and reinforces previous U.S. affirmation of the Armenian
Genocide as a crime of genocide.
