Recognition needed for ambassadors
The Armenian Assembly of America issued a statement stressing the
importance of formal U.S. recognition of the Armenian genocide to
facilitate relations between the two countries, and between Turkey
and Armenia.
Until then, the Assembly asserted that U.S. ambassadors in Armenia
will not be as effective and will remain restricted in efforts to
improve relationships between nations.
The president of Armenia and its foreign minister have suggested the
country set aside the issue of Turkey's recognition of the genocide,
as it is a barrier for relations.
The Assembly also calls for a U.S. Ambassador in Armenia's capital
city of Yerevan and a formal statement from the U.S. that recognizes
the genocide, which would allow its ambassadors to refer to it as
such.
