An Open Letter to US President Obama from FAAE

Chairman of the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) Ashot Grigorian has sent an open letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, referring to the 1915 Genocide.

“On behalf the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for your voicing ‘Mets Eghern’ in last year’s April 24 Genocide Address. Considering this to be a progressive step, we appeal to you for using the international genocide-word in this year’s address, making it possible for the U.S. Congress to approve Resolution 252, which was passed by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the United States House of Representatives.

Mr President, the recognition of the 1915 Genocide will make Turkey pay respect to the international community’s opinion and establish friendly relations with its major neighbor Armenia.

Believe me, this is the most realistic and fair way of solution to the Armenia-Turkey relations,” said in the letter.
