Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) commented on the State Department’s statement that the Trump Administration’s stance of the Armenian Genocide remains unchanged.
According to ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian, "it’s unclear how long President Trump remains loyal to Erdogan, enforcing – against all reason – an anti-American autocrat’s veto against honest American remembrance of Turkey’s extermination and exile of millions of Christian martyrs."
"With more than 98% of Republicans and Democrats having backed Congressional recognition of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, the President finds himself in an untenable position – isolated and alone as the last of Washington’s Ankara apologists," added Hamparian.
As reported earlier, the U.S. State Department commented on Senate’s adoption of Res. 150 recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
"The position of the Administration has not changed. Our views are reflected in the President’s definitive statement on this issue from last April," a short statement on State Department’s official website reads.
