    US SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT RECOGNIZING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    YEREVAN, MARCH 2. ARMINFO. It is shameful that the U.S. has not
    publicly recognized the Armenian Genocide, says Hellenic News of
    America.

    The world community and the academic community overwhelmingly
    recognize the Armenian Genocide. The Library of Congress held a major
    conference on the Armenian Genocide several years ago. Yet the State
    Department continues its opposition to recognition. The U.S. should
    also publicly call for the removal of Turkey-s illegal economic
    blockage of Armenia which also prevents U.S. humanitarian aid to
    Armenia.

    The U.S. media has failed to cover adequately the situation in Turkey
    for decades. They have taken handouts and statements from
    U.S. officials without serious questioning or investigation. Speeches
    and interviews by Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and
    former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Marc Grossman
    for years have contained blatant falsehoods, misleading statements and
    serious omissions of fact regarding:

    To remind, during his recent meeting with US Armenians US Ambassador
    to Armenia John Evans characterized the 1915 events in Ottoman Empire
    by the term "genocide" saying that it was his personal opinion. But
    the US official policy on the issue has not changed as the US has
    traditional ties with Turkey in the framework of NATO.
