Congressional Leaders Call on US President Trump to Properly Commemorate Armenian Genocide
The Chairmen and Ranking Members on both the House Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committees together with the leadership of the Armenian Caucus and more than eighty of their U.S. House colleagues called upon US President Trump to properly commemorate the Armenian Genocide in his April 24th White House statement, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports.
In a bipartisan letter calling upon US President to "appropriately mark April 24th as a day of American remembrance of the Armenian Genocide, signatories noted that, "by commemorating the Armenian Genocide, we renew our commitment to prevent future atrocities."
"We join with Members of Congress in calling upon President Trump to reject Turkey’s gag rule and embrace an honest American remembrance of the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "It’s long past time for America to stop outsourcing our national policy on the Armenian Genocide to Recep Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian and anti-American regime."
