Armenian Genocide
"You failed to honor your commitment to lift our nation's response to
genocide to the level of our shared American values, choosing, instead,
to allow America's willingness to respond forcefully to this horrific
crime to remain hostage to Turkish threats and intimidation."--
ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA) Chairman Ken Hachikian shared with President Barack Obama
yesterday the Armenian American community's disappointment with his
Administration's failure to honor his campaign pledges to recognize the
Armenian Genocide and to foster the growth and development of Armenia.
In a May 18th letter to the White House, Hachikian addressed both the
President's decision not to honor his repeated promises to recognize
the Armenian Genocide, as well as his recent proposal to cut aid to
Armenia by 38% even as he increases overall foreign aid spending and
the level of assistance he seeks to the regions of Europe, Eurasia,
and South/Central Asia, ANCA reports.
