  Historian: ANCA’s decision on U.S. presidential race sobering step October 19, 2012 - 16:41 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The dean of Yerevan State University (YSU) faculty of history has believed the decision of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) not to back any of the U.S. presidential candidates a sobering step. Meanwhile, Edik Minasyan noted that the neutral stance won’t benefit Armenians. “None of the presidential candidates kept the election promise to utter the word “genocide”,” he said, suggesting Armenia take practical steps and bring its claims before international courts. Earlier, ANCA announced that neither President Barack Obama (D) nor former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) has earned the Armenian American community's formal backing heading into the November 6th presidential election.
