Director Aram Hamparian commented on the statement issued by the
U.S. embassy in Yerevan. Hamparian reiterated that
Ambassador-designate Richard Hoagland has denied the Armenian
Genocide.
`He has replied in writing to Senators Kerry and Boxer that there was
no genocide and has questioned the Armenian killings in the Ottoman
Empire. Secondly, if you wish to understand the position of the U.S.
government, you have to clearly understand the position on this issue
crucial to Armenians.
They can play with words, but what matters to us is the
legislation. It is very sad that the U.S. government does not respect
the moral aspect of the issue. In this respect, the US foreign
relations department lags behind the U.S. Congress, the American
society, the American media and the states. We call on the American
authorities to recognize the Armenian Genocide but the Administration
continues to defend the Turkish interest.
Both in Yerevan and Washington, representatives of the U.S. government
know that the policy conducted in this field is not fair, and that
policy is more pro-Turkish and pro-American,' Aram Hamparian said. He
conveyed hope that everybody in the U.S. embassy in Yerevan talks
about Armenian Genocide as sincerely and bravely as John Evans did.
