    CHARLES AZNAVOUR JOINS THE LETTER OF THE EUROPEAN ARMENIANS TO BARACK OBAMA

    AZG Armenian Daily
    April 17 2009
    Armenia

    Noyan Tapan has received from Mr Ashot Grigorian, the President
    of Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe, the following letter
    addressed to the U.S. President Barack Obama. Many famous Armenians
    living in Europe, including, Singer Charles Aznavour (France), Sergey
    Khachatryan - Violinist (Germany), Arthur Abraham - World Champion
    in Boxing (Germany), Levon Aronyan - Chess Grandmaster (Germany),
    Hilda Tchoboian, President of Federation Euro-Armenien (France),
    and Mr Ashot Grigorian (Slovakia), joined the letter.

    "We, representatives of the Armenian communities in Europe, express
    our deepest and utmost gratitude to you for your stance during your
    pre-election campaign on the issue of the Armenian Genocide. We feel
    confident that your continuous efforts will contribute to the adoption
    of a respective Resolution on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
    by the U.S. Congress.

    Honorable President, European Armenian communities have hitherto
    contributed to the adoption of similar resolutions by the Parliaments
    of a number of European countries with belief that this will benefit to
    the development of Turkish-Armenian relations and friendy cooperation
    between these neighbor countries. By helping Turkey reconcile with
    its past and enhance working relations with its neighboring country,
    we contribute to the development of democracy in this country which
    will pave the way for it to join the European Union as a full member
    in the future.

    Adoption of a Resolution recognizing and condemning the Armenian
    Genocide by the United States will greatly contribute to this
    historical process and will help the Turkish authorities to 'cross
    Rubicon' and rid themselves of the heavy burden inherited from
    the past.

    We eagerly await your speech on April 24 in faith and hope and we
    express our admiration and deepest gratitude for your newly initiated
    efforts".
