Democratic Presidential Candidate General Wesley Clark called Washington to resolute actions to prevent future mass crimes against humanity, such as the Armenian Genocide of 1915. In an open letter to the Armenian American community the General notes, “what happened in 1915 was genocide.” The Ottoman Turkish authorities “rounded up and executed Armenian leaders in Constantinople and other towns, they desecrated Armenian churches, and they ordered the deportation of the Armenian people,” Wesley Clark writes. In his opinion, in the memory of the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Genocide, as well as those, who had sought safe haven in the United States and have now passed away, the American society should never forget such crimes and strengthen the commitment to preventing such horrors in the future, the Armenian National Committee of America reported.
