    ACA ASKS OBAMA TO HONOR HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGE

    Armenia

    April 12, the Armenian Council of America (ACA) Executive Board sent a
    letter to U.S. President Barack Obama. In the letter, the ACA addressed
    the upcoming meeting between Obama, his Armenian counterpart Serzh
    Sargsyan and Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as the
    annual April 24th presidential statement on the Armenian Genocide.

    ACA urges President Obama to advocate for greater democratic reforms
    within the region and honor his promise to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide on its solemn 95th anniversary of April 24, instead of the
    ill conceived Armenian Turkish Protocols.

    "While some in your Administration may advise you to encourage Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan and Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan to
    ratify the Protocols, we instead ask you to encourage the leaders to
    adopt democratic principles in their respective nations in order to
    promote future solidarity and friendship in the region.

    Turkey has closed its borders unilaterally and should open its borders
    unilaterally without any pre-conditions," the letter reads.
