Assembly hopes U.S. foreign policy personnel will be allowed to speak about Genocide freely
The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) congratulated Senators Barack Obama (D-IL) and Joseph Biden Jr. (D-DE) on a hard fought election victory.
"By all accounts this was an historic election which provides a tremendous opportunity for all Americans," stated Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "The new Administration will have a far-reaching impact over the next four years. The Assembly looks forward to the immediate revocation of the Anti-Evans Doctrine, and in its place ensure that all U.S. diplomatic and foreign policy personnel are made fully aware of the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide and are allowed to speak the truth freely," continued Bryan Ardouny, the Assembly told PanARMENIAN.Net.
The Obama-Biden ticket has consistently demonstrated a rejection of the Bush Administration's fundamentally flawed policy on this critical human rights issue. Specifically, during their tenure in the U.S. Senate and with respect to the removal of U.S. Ambassador John M. Evans, and the subsequent nominations that ensued, both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have pressed for affirmation of the Genocide.
