ArmInfo. The Armenian National Commitee of America (ANCA) has issued the following statement:
"300,000+ Armenian Americans across eight key swing states watched today as President Trump retreated from US remembrance of the Armenian Genocide - under foreign pressure from the Turkish government.
"There's only ever been one reason politicians refrain from recognizing the Armenian Genocide
"It's never been the facts, this is settled history
"It's never been the morality, which is crystal clear
"It's always been Ankara's threats and arm-twisting.
"President Trump's omission is not a diplomatic oversight - but rather a deliberate retreat from truth and a dangerous signal of U.S. tolerance for ongoing anti-Armenian violence."
