ANCA official urges U.S. to follow France’s suit

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian offered the following comment on the France National Assembly passage of the Genocide Law:

"Today's overwhelming vote by the French National Assembly reinforces the growing international consensus - and the mounting pressure on Turkey - for a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide."

"Closer to home, France's stand underscores the need for our own American President and Congress to finally reject Ankara's gag rule on the proper condemnation and commemoration of this still unpunished crime against humanity. We mark this occasion by urging President Obama to honor his pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
