Letter to U.S. House Members Asking Them to Co-Sign the Letter to President Trump to Properly Commemorate the Armenian Genocide
I am writing to ask you to co-sign the Armenian Caucus letter urging President Trump to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
For far too long, Ankara has enforced a gag-rule prohibiting Americans from speaking honestly about a known case of genocide – the Ottoman Empire’s systematic campaign to destroy Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Pontians, Syriacs, and other persecuted Christian nations. No foreign government – certainly not as one as authoritarian and anti-American as Recep Erdogan’s Turkey – deserves a veto over America’s defense of human rights.
By co-signing this letter, you honor those lost in this atrocity, pay tribute to the Americans who sacrificed so much to help countless survivors, and help ensure that the lessons of this terrible crime are applied, today, in preventing similar violence against at-risk minorities across the Middle East.
To support this bipartisan initiative please Rep. Pallone’s office. For additional information, please reach out to Raffi Karakashian at the ANCA office, raffi@anca.org.
Sincerely,
Letter to Armenian Caucus Leadership Thanking them for their Leadership on the Letter to President Trump to Properly Commemorate the Armenian Genocide
Dear Representative,
I am writing to thank you and your colleagues in the leadership of the Armenian Caucus for calling on your fellow U.S. Representatives to urge President Trump to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
For far too long, Ankara has enforced a gag-rule prohibiting Americans from speaking honestly about a known case of genocide, the Ottoman Empire’s systematic campaign to destroy Armenians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Greeks, Pontians, Syriacs, and other persecuted Christian nations. No foreign government – certainly not as one as authoritarian and anti-American as Turkey – deserves a veto over America’s defense of human rights.
By working to secure broad bi-partisan support for this letter, you honor those lost in this atrocity, pay tribute to the Americans who sacrificed so much to help countless survivors, and help ensure that the lessons of this terrible crime are applied, today, in preventing similar violence against at-risk minorities across the Middle East.
I look forward to seeing the final version of this letter with a broad number of your colleagues joining you in calling on the President to bring America back to the right side of this important human rights issue.
Sincerely,
Letter to U.S. House Members who have Agreed to Cosign the Letter to President Trump to Properly Commemorate the Armenian Genocide
