ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY ASKS PRESIDENT OBAMA TO AFFIRM THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
ON APRIL 24
Washington, DC - President Barack Obama publicly confirmed, while in
Turkey, that his views on the Armenian Genocide have not changed. With
less than 10 days to April 24, the President has a well-timed
opportunity to deliver on the change he promised, to honor the pledges
he made and to affirm the U.S. record on the Armenian Genocide.
"Given the clear and consistent record of President Obama,
Vice-President Joseph Biden, Jr. and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
U.S. credibility and affirmation of the Armenian Genocide occupy center
stage this April, which is also Genocide Prevention Month. On April 24,
when the President issues his first statement on the Armenian Genocide,
we fully expect him to honor his pledge and affirm the historical truth
of the Armenian Genocide. We encourage all people of goodwill to help us
end the cycle of genocide denial by becoming an Ambassador of
Affirmation and send a letter to President Obama," stated Armenian
Assembly of America Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.

Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding
and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
membership organization.
