The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to honor his campaign promise to recognize the Armenian Genocide, ANCA press release reads.

The one-page letter, signed by ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian and sent in the days leading up to President Obama’s second April 24th in office, asks, simply, that President Obama keep his commitment and “stand for a policy that is truthful, just, and worthy of the American people.”

“As citizens, we simply call upon you, as our President, to honor your own commitments. We ask only that you keep faith with your own understanding of the Armenian Genocide and the modern-day consequences of this still unresolved crime against humanity. We expect simply that you stand for a policy that is truthful, just, and worthy of the American people. I would also respectfully ask you to consider, as you prepare your remarks, that April 24th represents a profoundly solemn remembrance for our community and for all who care about the painful legacy of this horrific crime,” the letter says.
