The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has issued a statement, criticizing US President Barack Obama for betraying his pledge and avoiding the term ‘genocide’ in his annual April 24 address to the Armenians.
On the eve of Easter and the April 24th National Day of Prayer for the victims of the Armenian Genocide, President Barack Obama again betrayed his pledge to properly condemn and commemorate this crime against humanity, read the statement.
“President Obama’s disgraceful capitulation to Turkey’s threats, his complicity in Turkey’s denials, and his Administration’s active opposition to Congressional recognition of the Armenian Genocide represent the very opposite of the principled and honest change he promised to bring to our country’s response to this crime,” said ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian.
