/PanARMENIAN.Net/ April 14, 2007 the Armenian community of Texas
rapidly mobilized to a conference on "Turkish-Armenian Dialogue"
slated to take place at Southern Methodist University (SMU). The main
purpose of the planned conference in SMU is denial of the Armenian
Genocide. A similar conference was organized two weeks ago in Austin
entitled "Ottoman Diversity and Multiculturalism," the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA) reports.
With local, regional and national collaboration involving grassroots
activists, the ANCA, ANCA-WR, and the Eastern Diocese of the
Armenian Church joined forces with the Armenian community of Texas to
counter the attempts of genocide denial making inroads at SMU and the
university system of North Texas. These attempts by genocide denialists
coincide with local efforts to build support for the Armenian genocide
resolution, H. Res. 106 which awaits a vote in the U.S. Congress.
The Armenian community of Texas will continue to coordinate efforts
locally and beyond to pursue the truthful, just path of official
recognition of the Armenian genocide through H. Res. 106 and shall
remain vigilant regarding the coordinated efforts of the Turkish
government to fund genocide denial propaganda conferences at
universities and or on Capitol Hill.
