April 12, the Armenian Council of America (ACA) Executive Board sent a
letter to U.S. President Barack Obama. In the letter, the ACA addressed
the upcoming meeting between Obama, his Armenian counterpart Serzh
Sargsyan and Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as the
annual April 24th presidential statement on the Armenian Genocide.
ACA urges President Obama to advocate for greater democratic reforms
within the region and honor his promise to recognize the Armenian
Genocide on its solemn 95th anniversary of April 24, instead of the
ill conceived Armenian Turkish Protocols.
"While some in your Administration may advise you to encourage Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan to
ratify the Protocols, we instead ask you to encourage the leaders to
adopt democratic principles in their respective nations in order to
promote future solidarity and friendship in the region.
Turkey has closed its borders unilaterally and should open its borders
unilaterally without any pre-conditions," the letter reads.
