/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The main task of the Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA) is to bring up the young generation and strengthen the
lobby, ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter in Washington. In his words, the Armenian organizations of the
U.S. should coordinate efforts for achievement of the principal goal -
the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. "Our endeavors are targeted
at neutralization of the Turkish lobby led by Senator Bob Livingston
and the ATA (the American-Turkish Association). The latter's rating
has considerable fallen down during the recent 10 years. Generally
the place of Turkey in the U.S. foreign policy has changed," Hamparian
said. At that he underscored that Turkey's interests are supported by
Israel, which enjoys good relations with the United States. "However I
should mention that these relations have changed too. The Jews living
in the U.S. say that the Armenian Genocide should be recognized like
the Holocaust. I am convinced that the U.S. President Administration
is not far away from saying it was Genocide," he emphasized.
