President Barak Obama’s promise to have the Armenian Genocide officially recognized.

Longest 24 days
Friend and compatriot,
In all respects, April 24th 2009 will be one of the most important dates in the history of the Armenian people. In fact, great hope has been instilled since President Barak Obama’s promise to have the Armenian Genocide officially recognized. However, in spite of this, the President may opt for a cautious approach considering the strategy set forth by Turkey, which consists in preventing this stand, supposedly in order not to hinder the openness pursued with Armenia.

This is why it is of utmost importance to encourage the Whitehouse to issue its opinion on the Armenian Genocide on April 24th 2009.

You will find below a text to be cut and pasted into the Whitehouse’s “contact us” form: http://www.whitehouse.gov/Contact/.

Given the significance of the upcoming date, I hereby urge you to immediately disseminate this message to all your contacts and to the groups on Facebook dedicated to Armenians. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=69177105745
