ArmInfo. The Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) sent an open letter
to the eight former Secretaries of State in iew of their address to
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which contains a call not to submit the
Resolution N06, envisaging recognition of the Armenian Genocide,
to the Congress.
As AAA told ArmInfo, the Assembly's leadership emphasized the
ill-conceived letter is "inconsistent with the fundamentally tenets of
American values," and asked how many more excuses they could conjure
up to avoid the truth.
The Assembly letter also pointed out key facts that the former
Secretaries failed to discuss, including Turkey's refusal to allow
the U.S. access to northern front at a critical stage in Operation
Iraqi Freedom, a refusal which cost American lives. The letter
concluded as follows: "Enough is enough. No more lies. No more
deceit. No more denial. By preventing a vote, you not only impede the
democratic process and do a great disservice to the 226 cosponsors
and the millions of Americans that support this resolution, but also
unwittingly encourage a campaign of denial. Is this the message
we want to teach future generations - it is permissible to deny
genocide." For his part, Executive Director of AAA Bryan Ardouny said
that "the Armenian Assembly will continue to push for a concluding
affirmative vote on H. Res. 106 and urges the community to call upon
their Member of Congress to support the resolution today".
