HOLOCAUST RESEARCHERS WORRY ABOUT WHITE HOUSE POLICY TO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, ARMENPRESS. White House keeps the rug presenting
the sufferings of the victims of the Armenian Genocide "captive",
which according to the former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge must be
the daily symbol of goodwill on earth. The founding director of the
David Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, based in Washington Rafael
Medoff expressed such an opinion. "Four hundred Armenian orphans from
Ghazir Orphanage wove the rug in appreciation for U.S. humanitarian
assistance in the aftermath of Turkey's murder of over 1.5 million
Armenians from 1915-1923. Accepting the gift, the USA President
pointed out that the rug will have its place of honor in the White
House where it will be a daily symbol of goodwill on earth". Instead
of that, unfortunately, the rug becomes the symbol of the naughty
policy towards the Armenian Genocide," the director of the Institute
writes in The Algemeiner Jewish newspaper which is published in the
USA, Armenpress reports.
The Armenian orphan rug measures 11â~@²7â~@³ x 18â~@²5â~@³ and is
comprised of 4,404,206 individual knots. It took the Armenian girls
in the Ghazir Orphanage of the Near East Relief Society 10 months to
weave. A label on the back of the rug, in large hand-written letters,
reads "IN GOLDEN RULE GRATITUDE TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE".
