  • BAKU: US Senator Recognizes 'Genocide Of Armenians'

    US SENATOR RECOGNIZES 'GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS'

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    Sept 1 2005

    Baku, August 31, AssA-Irada US Senator Barack Obama visiting Azerbaijan
    has acknowledged the so-called 'genocide of Armenians'.

    "I believe the letter sent by the Senators to President George Bush
    to recognize the genocide of Armenians reflects historic facts",
    said Obama, who co-signed the appeal.

    The Senator told a news briefing in Baku that the document indicates
    that thousands of innocent Armenians were killed in the mentioned
    developments. "By signing the letter, I also defended the interests
    of the State of Illinois I represent. Killing civilians anywhere in
    the world should not be allowed."

    Asked whether he is aware of the horrible massacre of Azerbaijanis
    by Armenian thugs in Khojali, the Senator simply replied that he is
    informed of the problems in the region that have persisted for many
    years, reiterating that he opposes the killings of civilians.*
