Head of Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) Ashot Grigorian issued a letter to the U.S. President Barack Obama with a request and a demand to keep his promise given to Armenians worldwide and use the word Genocide in his annual speech on April 24.
Mr. Grigorian noted that the fist letter pursuing the same goal was written back in 2009, signed by many prominent Armenians, including Charles Aznavour, famous violinist Sergey Khachatryan, the then speaker of the Cypriot parliament Marios Garoyian, Olympic chess champion Levon Aronian and others.
“Armenians still hope that the U.S. President will demonstrate enough courage to speak for justice and will make vital steps for the future of the mankind,” Grigorian writes.
According to him, correct decision by Obama will help him restore authority on the threshold of elections.
“We hope that justice is not purchased. We look forward to your April 24 address with hope,” Grigorian concluded.
