    THE WASHINGTON POST DOES NOT DOUBT IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    17:15, 3 February, 2014

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, ARMENPRESS. The Washington Post's editorial board,
    in its first post Graham-family editorial on the Armenian Genocide, has
    retreated from its shameful record of opposing the proper recognition
    of this crime. As reports "Armenpress", the Armenian National Committee
    of America stated this citing the recent publication of the newspaper.

    In this respect the Armenian National Committee of America made
    the following note in its facebook page: "Today's editorial, while
    clearly misguided in its specific criticisms of ANCA's far-reaching
    and constructive role in encouraging genocide-prevention education
    in American public schools, does, to its credit, both openly and
    unambiguously cite the Armenian Genocide and also underscore the
    importance of "teaching about the Armenian genocide that began
    in 1915."

    Among other things the periodical stated: "In Virginia, as The Post's
    Laura Vozzella reported, legislators are working on a resolution
    instructing the education department to buy textbooks that challenge
    the name of the Sea of Japan, which many Koreans believe should be
    called the East Sea. Newly installed Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) finds
    himself in a pickle. On the campaign trail he promised to support
    such a change, but he has now discovered that Japan -- whose companies
    are big investors in the commonwealth -- is unhappy about the idea.

    In addition the American periodical underscored: "We're not doubting
    the importance of teaching about the Armenian genocide that began
    in 1915."
