Change: Obama’s Election Rekindles Hopes for Genocide recognition among American-Armenians

A leading American-Armenian advocacy group this week encouraged the United States president-elect to make good on his promise to affirm the Armenian Genocide.

Arpi Vartanian, the country director for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh offices of the Armenian Assembly of America (www.aaainc.org), said at a press conference in Yerevan Thursday that the organization cherishes strong hopes that Barack Obama will live up to his pre-election commitment to the influential Armenian community in the US to recognize the mass killings and deportations of Armenians organized and perpetrated by Turkish authorities in 1915-1923 as genocide.

Իսկ ինչ պետք է լինի, երբ Բարակ Հուսեյն Օբաման, ԱՄՆ եւ ամբողջ աշխարհը ճանաչի ցեղասպանությունը: Հետո... ինչ է լինելու?

The aim of recognition of Armenian Genocide is not to humility Turkey but the recognition of Armenian Genocide is the first step to contra Turkish denial policy and demand justice for this crime Turkish propaganda is trying to make Americans and world believe as if US congress would speak for the first time ever about Armenian Genocide ignoring many US resolutions on Armenian Genocide!! Armenian Americans should not ask any more just for a non binding resolution but demand the official recognition of Armenian Genocide by the US government

I think the sheeple better wake up and realize that there are no substantive difference between Republican and Democrat. Similarly, there are no real elections in the US. As much as I hate Bush and company (including McCain and Pain) I am getting sick to my stomach over Obama worship. In real political terms, Obama will prove to be just as bad if not worst than Bush and his Neocon criminals. Obama was not elected, he was "chosen" to replace the failed neocons in Washington. The agenda of the empire needed a new face to move forward. Obama is that new face. Obama is not even president yet and look at who is already behind him - foreign policy maker Zbigniew Brzezinski, an American imperialist and an ardent Russophobe and Rohm Emanuel - a fervent Zionist. Wake up Americans and realize that you don't live in a democracy...
