With two months left before the November 2nd U.S. Presidential Election
public polls indicate that Democratic candidate John F. Kerry and
his Republican rival, US President George W. Bush, are neck and neck.
Kerry hopes that the promise he made yesterday to recognize the
So-Called Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2005, will earn him the
support of Armenian American voters and push him ahead in the polls.
Kerry, who is known for his long running support of the Armenian
cause in Washington, sent a letter to a music festival organized by
American Armenian National Congress. In the letter Kerry assures the
Armenians that he will fight against the denial of so-called Armenian
Genocide and, if he is elected, his administration will recognize
this violence on April 24, 2005, its 90th anniversary.
Kerry went on to say that this represents a crime against humanity
and that it should be used as a tool to prevent future genocide. The
Democratic Candidate added that there can be no compromising of morals
when trying to end genocide.
The American Armenian National Congress announced last month that
they will support Kerry since he has been one of their voices inside
Washington for the past 20 years.
