A series of formerly classified State Department cables, recently made
available through the National Archives and Records Administration,
provide first-hand insights into the cooperation during the early
1970s between the US and Turkish governments seeking to block the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the United Nations, reported
the Armenian National Committee of America.
"These files provide new insights into the depths to which our own
government has sunk in its complicity with Turkey's denial of the
Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
"Knowing that sunshine truly is the best disinfectant, we welcome the
release of these documents and value the growing public awareness of
the internal mechanics of our government's immoral and short-sighted
policy of denial - an increasingly untenable policy that is destined
to collapse under the growing weight of its own lies."
