US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a written response to a letter of protest from the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), refrained from again mischaracterizing the Armenian Genocide as a "matter for historical debate," but stopped far short of properly characterizing this atrocity as a crime, much less keeping the pledges that both she and US President Barack Obama have made to fully and formally recognize this clear case of genocide, reads a press statement issued by ANCA.
“While we value the willingness of Secretary Clinton to engage with Armenian American voters during this political season, and certainly take note of the fact that she has refrained from repeating her recent highly offensive comments directly calling into question the Armenian Genocide, we remain deeply troubled by her misguided efforts to downgrade an international crime of genocide to a simple bilateral conflict,” said ANCA Chairperson Ken Hachikian.
