PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe
(FAAE) Ashot Grigorian issued a letter to the U.S. President Barack
Obama with a request and a demand to keep his promise given to
Armenians worldwide and use the word Genocide in his annual speech
on April 24.
Mr. Grigorian noted that the fist letter pursuing the same goal was
written back in 2009, signed by many prominent Armenians, including
Charles Aznavour, famous violinist Sergey Khachatryan, the then
speaker of the Cypriot parliament Marios Garoyian, Olympic chess
champion Levon Aronian and others.
"Armenians still hope that the U.S. President will demonstrate enough
courage to speak for justice and will make vital steps for the future
of the mankind," Grigorian writes.
According to him, correct decision by Obama will help him restore
authority on the threshold of elections.
"We hope that justice is not purchased. We look forward to your April
24 address with hope," Grigorian concluded.
