With the Senate Foreign Relations Committee set to consider U.S.
Ambassador to Armenia nominee Marie Yovanovitch at a confirmation
hearing on Thursday, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee
Barack Obama restated his commitment to U.S. recognition of the
Armenian Genocide.
As the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) told ArmInfo, in
a June 16th letter to ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian, Sen. Obama wrote
"I share your view that the United States must recognize the events
of 1915 to 1923, carried out by the Ottoman Empire, as genocide. We
must recognize this tragic reality. The Bush Administration's refusal
to do so is inexcusable, and I will continue to speak out in an effort
to move the Administration to change its position".
