ANCA sharply criticized Trump`s position on Armenian Genocide

ArmInfo. The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) sharply criticized the position of US President Donald Tramp on the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman  Empire.

Thus, ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian accused Trump of  inability to express a true position on the Armenian Genocide.

According to Hamparian, Turkey's nomination to the forefront by Trump  leads to a tougher position of Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the Armenian  Genocide, Greeks, Assyrians and other Christians.

"In his annual message of April 24, Trump again misled the Ankara  government on the issue of the conscientious recognition and  condemnation of the Armenian Genocide," the ANCA statement says,  adding that Trump, ignoring Erdogan's actions, encourages the foreign  dictator to continue publicly denying genocide.

In ANCA's statement, it is noted that refusing to put pressure on  Turkey, Trump isolates America, which was left alone with Turkey in  the matter of denying the genocide. Aram Hamparian recalled that 48  US states recognized the Armenian Genocide, as well as a dozen NATO  allies, including France and Germany, the European Union and, of  course, the Pope.

ANCA also emphasizes that it will continue its struggle to achieve  the US recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

The day before, US President Donald Trump made a statement in  connection with the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Armenian  Genocide, in which he again avoided using the term genocide.

According to the White House press service, the American leader noted  that the US welcomes the efforts of Turkey and Armenia in recognizing  the "painful history". "Today, we remember and honor the memory of  those who suffered as a result of the pogroms of Armenians, one of  the most horrible crimes of the 20th century." I join the Armenian  community in America and around the world, mourning the loss of  innocent people! atrocities to prevent their recurrence. We welcome  the efforts of the Turks and Armenians in recognizing and taking into  account the painful history, which is an important step towards  creating the basis for a more just and tolerant future," Trump said.
