US Senators Increase Pressure on President Obama Ahead of April 2412:44 • 21.04.10
A group of 14 Senators headed by Senator Barbara Boxer (California) have called on US President Barak Obama “to side with the historical truth and recognize the Armenian Genocide,” informs the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
“Despite the irrefutable body of evidence, US has yet to recognize the 1915-1923 events by their rightful name,” reads the letter, addressed to the White House.
The signatories call on Obama “to correct this injustice and eventually acknowledge one of the greatest atrocities of the 20th century as Genocide.”
“We would like to thank Senator Boxer and her Senate colleagues for their efforts to end Turkey’s gag rule on U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide – a morally bankrupt policy that continues to undermine our nation's credibility in the fight to end the cycle of Genocide,’ said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
