ArmInfo. With just days left to the crucial November 4th presidential
elections, the Obama-Biden campaign reaffirmed its commitment to
Armenian Genocide recognition and a strong U.S.- Armenia relationship,
reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
A statement titled "Barack Obama: Supporting U.S.-Armenia Relations,"
relayed to Armenians for Obama Chairman Areen Ibranossian earlier today
as well as the ANCA, affirms that "The Armenian Genocide, carried out
by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulted in the deportation
of nearly 2 million Armenians, and approximately 1.5 million of those
deported were killed. Barack Obama believes we must recognize this
tragic reality and strongly supports a U.S.-Armenian relationship that
advances our common security and strengthens Armenian democracy." The
statement goes on to note "Barack Obama strongly supports passage of
the Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106 and S.Res.106) and will
recognize the Armenian Genocide."
