A number of U.S. corporations unaware they "participate" in the campaign against Genocide recognition
American corporations Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson's and Cargill's refuted the information that they participate in the campaign against the Armenian Genocide recognition. The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) addressed letters to about 100 organizations to find out if they were involved in the campaign against the Armenian Genocide Resolution. As a response a number of corporations stated, they are not assisting Turkish initiative but also are unaware that their names had been used for such a campaign, "Yerkir" newspaper reports. In January Turkish media reported that a number of American corporations undersigned the letter, which calls on the U.S. government not to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
