ArmInfo. U.S. President Donald Trump's April 24 message encourages denial. This is stated in the statement of the Armenian Assembly of America. Recall that this year, in his message to Trump, again, instead of the word Genocide, used Mets Eghern wording (the great massacre - ed.).
The AAA statement noted that the presidential administration's message did not comply with the resolution passed last year by the US Congress that recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide. <Although we welcome the administration's commitment to protecting vulnerable religious and ethnic minorities, we know from experience that actions speak louder than words. Minorities throughout Turkey are still at risk, and much more can be done to protect the most fundamental freedoms of human rights defenders and journalists in Turkey. Consideration of today's problems in the light of the Armenian Genocide provides an appropriate context for understanding the problems that remain in Turkey, as well as strategies for overcoming them. The administration can at least join Hassan Jemal, the grandson of one of the main organizers of the Armenian Genocide - in the matter of recognition and condemnation of crimes committed in 1915>, the statement emphasizes.
