The Armenian Assembly congratulates President Barack Obama on his hard fought election victory for a second term in office against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who ran a spirited and competitive campaign.

While President Obama has repeatedly stated that his views on the Armenian Genocide have not changed and has employed the Armenian term Meds Yeghern, as we approach the 100th anniversary, the Assembly expects that President Obama will be more explicit in acknowledging the American record of Genocide recognition, work to reconcile Turkey with its past, and thereby help in the cause of genocide prevention around the world.

“We congratulate President Obama on his re-election victory and with the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in 2015, expect that his repeated promises to affirm the Armenian Genocide will be fulfilled this term," stated Armenian Assembly Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. 

“The Assembly looks forward to working with the Administration and the Congress to build on the progress already made on key issues for the Armenian community and for continued strengthening of U.S.-Armenia and U.S- Artsakh relations,” Ardouny added.
