ANCA CHIEF POSES 5 QUESTIONS ABOUT U.S. POLICY ON SYRIA'S ARMENIANS
April 17, 2013 - 11:40 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian listed "5
things you deserve to know about U.S. Policy on Syria's Armenians"
in his Facebook post.
According to Hamparian, clarification is necessary as to what specific
efforts the U.S. government has undertaken to ensure the delivery
of humanitarian aid to all at-risk populations in Syria, including
vulnerable Armenian and other Christian minorities in the Aleppo area.
"What public accounting has there been regarding the nature and scope
of the U.S. aid that has actually reached the Armenian community and
other Christian-populated areas in and around Aleppo?
In light of the massive destruction in and around Armenian populated
areas, what has the U.S. government done to reach out to U.S.-based,
international, and indigenous Armenian church and charitable
organizations to help facilitate the delivery of humanitarian
relief?" Hamparian asks.
Another thing to find out, Hamparian says, is what policies and
practices the U.S. government has put in place to impress upon all
parties in Syria to refrain from intimidation, violence, or retribution
against Armenian and other Christian populations, to keep military
operations away from residential Aleppo, and to confine all attacks
to military targets.
"Given the presence of a longstanding Armenian population in the
northern regions of Syria that is,in part, the result of Turkey's
death marches during the Armenian Genocide, what has the U.S.
government done to constrain Turkey from any further actions aimed
at weakening, displacing, or destroying these communities?" ANCA
Executive Director asks.
