“The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) once again voiced its concerns over the Turkish government's increasingly energetic efforts to cement in place the Obama Administration's refusal to properly recognize the Armenian Genocide,” the ANCA website reads.

The source quotes ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian as saying, “Prime Minister Erdogan having succeeded in using the Ankara-inspired Protocols to enlist the cooperation of yet another U.S. Administration into its campaign to block recognition of the Armenian Genocide is now coming to Washington to cement his gains and further press his advantage.”

According to him, “showcasing Turkey's public disregard for President Obama's twin priorities for Armenia-Turkey normalization, namely that they be established without preconditions and within a reasonable time-frame” is on Erdogan’s agenda. “Today, more than seven months after our President's speech in Ankara during which he broke his pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide it's patently clear that Turkey has in fact imposed preconditions,” Hamparian added.

ANCA launched the campaign called “Countdown to Erdogan” aimed at urging U.S. Senate to adopt Armenian Genocide Resolution.
