A Republican candidate in the U.S. mid-term elections has condemned President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies controlling Congress for reneging, so far, on their pledges to formally recognize the 1915 Armenian massacres in Ottoman Turkey as genocide.
In a last-minute attempt to win over ethnic Armenian voters in her New Jersey constituency, Anna Little also faulted the Obama administration for lending what she called insufficient support to Armenia in its difficult relations with Turkey and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Karabakh Armenians "continue to face the specter of genocide," she claimed, pointing to "the ever increasing war rhetoric emanating from the Azerbaijani regime."
"In the elections of 2008, the Democrats swept into power with their leaders on record in support of U.S. affirmation of the Armenian Genocide," Little said in a statement obtained by RFE/RL's Armenian service. "However, they have failed to deliver on their promises in every way."
