Obama Breaks Pledge to Recognize Armenian Genocide:


Despite a clear pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide as president of the United States, President Obama, on April 24, used euphemistic language to describe the murder of over 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish government from 1915-1923.

We must express strongly our Deep disappointment to President Obama in anyways, but it is a HUGE MUST.

(This text will be included in your message)
I am writing to share my sharp disappointment with your failure to honor your pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

In falling short of your repeated and crystal clear promises, which reflected a thorough knowledge of the facts, the practical implications, and the moral dimension of Armenian Genocide recognition, your Administration has chosen, as a matter of policy, to allow our nation’s stand against genocide to remain a hostage to Turkey's threats. Rather than caving in to Ankara’s raw and open threats, our government should have publicly and proudly rejected Turkey’s cynical manipulation of U.S. policy on genocide.
Genocide must be confronted unconditionally at the level of American values and our common humanity. We should never allow its prevention or recognition to be reduced to a political issue that can be traded away, retreated from under threats and pressure, or used to advance a political agenda, of any kind.

I urge you to act quickly to redeem your Administration’s stand on the Armenian Genocide by clearly condemning and commemorating this crime, removing Turkey’s gag-rule on its recognition, and working publicly toward the adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution before Congress.”

Always Remembering the "Armenian Genocide".


''Dsidsernagapert"












































On 30 September 2006, The French President Jacques Chirac, his wife Bernadette, and French Foreign Minister visited "Dsidsernagapert," the Memorial of the Armenian Genocide, in Yerevan.

That day, the French President Jacques Chirac said, “Turkey should recognize the Massacre of Armenians during World War I as Genocide before its possible accession to the European Union.”

When he was asked at a press conference if Turkey should recognize the 1915-1917 Massacres at the hands of Ottoman Turks as Genocide to enter the European Union (EU), he replied: "Honestly, I believe so."


The following is a picture, where the French President (in the center of the picture), his wife Bernadette (dressed white coat, beside him, on his right), and French Foreign Minister (on the Left of President Chirac) stand in front of the Memorial to the Armenian Genocide, in Yerevan.
