WASHINGTON, MAY 25, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The National
Council of the Churches of Christ of the USA sent a letter to Speaker
of U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi calling her for doing an
additional work in the direction of including in the agenda Resolution
N 252 on Armenian Genocide and ensuring its ratification.
Doctor Michael Kinnamon, the Secretary General of the above mentioned
organization representing more than 100 thousand churches and having
45 million followers in his letter to N. Pelosi wrote that for real
improvement of relations between Armenia and Turkey the U.S. executive
and legislative powers should use "the convenient word determined by
the international law, genocide" when speaking about the slaughters
of 1915.
ANCA reported that Archbishop Vazgen Aykazian, the Chairman of the
National Council of the Churches of Christ established in 1950 also
expressed disappointment that the U.S. President did not exactly
characterize the fact of Armenian Genocide and added that half of
his family died in that tragedy.
