04.03.2005 13:34
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Assembly of America acted to galvanize
congressional and Armenian-American support for U.S. Ambassador to
Armenia John Evans' self-evident declaration that `the Armenian
Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century', the AAA
reports. The Assembly leaders launched a comprehensive campaign that
hinges on the support of the community and others of goodwill to join
Ambassador Evans in properly characterizing the attempted
annihilation of the Armenian people as genocide. As part of that
campaign the Assembly sent an urgent memorandum to the Senate to
support the Evans' declaration. According to the source, pursuing the
policy of the Armenian Genocide denial Turkey relies on her
supporters in the Bush Administration, US Congress and some mass
media. Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Co-Chair Frank Pallone
said: `Ambassador Evans' statements did not contradict U.S. policy,
but rather articulated the same message that the Bush Administration
has sent to the public, the only difference in this case is that
Ambassador Evans simply assigned the word to the definition that was
already provided by President Bush as well as members of his
administration.'
