Hon. Consul Armenia: Trump is Best Chance For U.S. to Recognize Armenia Genocide
On Wednesday, Armenians around the world will commemorate the 104th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. The United States has yet to recognize the genocide and condemn the Turkish government, despite more than two dozen parliaments and countries, including 49 of 50 U.S. states that do acknowledge it.
According to Yourcentralvalley the Honorary Consul Republic of Armenia, Fresno, Berj Apkarian believes President Trump is the best chance at the U.S. to finally recognize the Armenian genocide. “If we have any chance for this to happen, this is the moment,” he said in an interview with KSEE television.
Apkarian emphasized that President Trump is known for his non-traditional approach in terms of solving sovereign issues, such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and proclaiming Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
“He is not there to pay tribute to special interests, and he knows what is the rights thing to do,” he said.
