Dear Friends and Members of the Turkish-American Community:
Azerbaijani and Turkish American organizations throughout America have initiated a major campaign to urge President Obama not to use the term “genocide” if his Administration chooses to make a statement regarding events that occurred in the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
To date, no American President has described the events of 1915 as genocide. Unlike many other tragedies and massacres, whether the Armenian case constitutes genocide is widely disputed. The Armenia allegation of genocide has even been rejected by the United Nations.
We urge Turkish Americans and friends of Turkey to send their messages to President Obama and Congress NOW!
Please click on the following links to take urgent action:
