Washington, September 02, ArmenPress - One of the candidates of US presidency,
Democrat John Kerry, has been the supporter of Armenian issues in the
Senate. He has variously supported Armenian resolutions and has pledged
to recognize Armenian Genocide upon being elected.
Last week John Kerry has even more clarified his disposition unveiling
the most expressive statement on Genocide. "John Kerry Edwards administration
will launch a fight against denial of Armenian Genocide," the statement
says.
The Democrat candidate, who the recent polls say, has almost equal rating
as George Bush does, has even excelled in a number of important issues.
In his statement he said that it has been a great honor for him to work
with Armenian community during the recent two decade of years around such
important issues as Armenia Genocide or improvement in Armenian-American
relations.
John Kerry urged the Armenians to go to their constituencies on November
2 and vote for him and John Edwards.
The Democrat candidate clearly formulates how his administration is going
to recognize Armenian genocide, if elected.
"As a president, I will fight against denial of Armenian genocide.
My administration will recognize April 24, 2005 as the 90th anniversary
of the atrocities and I will do everything that the lessons learned from
the crime against humanity be used in prevention of other genocides. There
can not be any compromise in the moral issue of putting an end to massacres,"
John Kerry's statement says.
