/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As a matter of domestic policy, clearly the
Armenian Genocide Resolution currently before the U.S. Congress is
an internal American issue, Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian stated during an interview
to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist. He said this legislation addresses
the long U.S. record on the Armenian Genocide, including America's
protests and relief efforts during this crime against humanity.
"Its aim is to ensure that the U.S. government applies the lessons
of this tragedy to help prevent future genocides. As such, this is
an internal matter for the elected representatives of the American
people - not the diplomats of foreign states. As we saw in Rwanda and
are witnessing today in Darfur, preventing genocide represents a core
American value and a vital U.S. security interest. Condemning genocide
reinforces America's moral leadership and international standing in
opposing all genocides. More broadly, however, Resolution 106 clearly
has an international dimension.
This resolution is part of a growing global movement against
genocide. Its adoption will help counter Turkey's denials and will
strengthen the world's resolve to reject the dangerous precedent that
Turkey has set of genocide committed with impunity. A world in which
Turkey has abandoned its genocide denial campaign will be a world
safer from the scourge of new genocides," Aram Hamparian said.
