    HOLOCAUST RESEARCHERS WORRY ABOUT WHITE HOUSE POLICY TO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    17:38, 29 October, 2013

    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".
