Armenian Diaspora demands US President to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - In all respects, April 24th 2009 will be one of the most important dates in the history of the Armenian people. In fact, great hope has been instilled since President Barak Obama's promise to have the Armenian Genocide officially recognized. However, in spite of this, the President may opt for a cautious approach considering the strategy set forth by Turkey, which consists in preventing this stand, supposedly in order not to hinder the openness pursued with Armenia.



This is why it is of utmost importance to encourage the Whitehouse to issue its opinion on the Armenian Genocide on April 24th 2009, French journalist Jean Eckian reported to PanARMENIAN.Net





Mr. President, Armenians from the United States and around the world trust you.



Your predecessors had also promised to use the word Genocide to qualify the massacres of 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, they did not keep their promises. Please make the CHANGE and give acknowledgment to a people and their ancestors that have awaited for so long. Armenians became the cuckolds of geostrategy.

Mr. President, you entered the world's stage through the large door. Your historical presidency will be inscribed in the handbook of future generations.

Hoping that you will put an end to the deafening silence of the greatest democratic nation on earth to qualify the first genocide of the 20th century.



Along with the millions of other Armenians, survivors and their decedents now living around the world, we respectfully request that you adopt a resolution acknowledging the Armenian Genocide.



Submitted with all due respect for all you have accomplished for this Nation, as well as for all we hope you will accomplish.
