    ADL DISTRICT COMMITTEE OF US AND CANADA LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

    AZG DAILY
    09-09-2009

    International

    September 7, 2009

    Honorable President Barack Obama,

    The White House

    1800 Pennsylvania Ave.

    Washington, DC 20001

    Dear Mr. President,

    Your election as the leader of world's most powerful nation on earth
    restored America's credibility among nations and placed the country
    on the path of its Founding Father's.

    We believe that your vision will be able to bring peace to the world
    and prosperity at home, because your policies match America's moral
    power to its military strength.

    It was that vision which took all the Armenians by storm and helped
    to give a landslide mandate to your administration.

    One million strong American-Armenian Community was also mobilized to
    join the movement mostly inspired by your unswerving stand on issues
    that concern the us the most. Your continued actions as senator, and
    later your pledge as presidential candidate did not leave any doubt
    that this time around moral fortitude would prevail over political
    expediency.

    Most reassuring was specially your statement made in April 12, 2007
    which said in particular: "For those who aren't aware that there was
    a genocide that did take place against the Armenian people. It is one
    of these situations where we have seen a constant denial on the part
    of the Turkish government and others that this occurred".

    In April of 2009 your statement about the Martyrs' Day Commemoration,
    unfortunately fell short of your earlier pledges, allowing the Turkish
    government pretending a breakthrough in Armenian-Turkish relations
    and then retracting.

    However we do believe that your other public and private relevant
    statements in Ankara and your administration's relevant political
    actions have brought about a change in Turkish policy's long standing
    intransigence, we believe that those changes must not stand on your way
    to fulfill your pledge deny Turkish policy makers to find subterfuge
    in Armenia's hesitation.

    For many years the promise that using the word Genocide may harm
    American-Turkish relations has proven wrong. Every time Turkey
    makes a headway in that direction, America's moral paradigm is
    compromised. Hiding festering wounds will not help healing.

    Thanks to your leadership, recent Protocols were made public by the
    representative foreign ministries of Armenia, Turkey and Switzerland on
    August 31. Those advances must not pre-empt America's moral standing,
    nor its credible foreign policy.

    We urge you at this critical stage of the entire Caucasus region to
    confront Turkish leaders with the historic through. That will help in
    the first place heel the deep wounds in the history of the Turkish
    people, thereby laying the foundations of a true democracy aspiring
    the family of civilized nations.

    We believe that will also be consonant to your conscience of America's
    global leadership and help Armenian region its place in the world.
