  1. As they should. It’s clear a Clinton presidency would strike down any attempt to recognize the genocide. And a Trump presidency is a big unknown regarding recognition.

    • But Trump is pro-Christian, more than you can say about prior candidates who the ANCA have endorsed.

    • You should be more concerned for live Armenians than 100-year-past dead ones. A Clinton presidency will probably include an American military intervention in Syria, which will almost certainly result in the extinction of Syria’s Armenian community (a repeat of what happened in Iraq). Any such intervention will require the cooperation of Turkey, leading to a Clinton presidency silence on human rights abuses in Turkey under dictator Erdogan. What risks all this will pose for Artsakh is uncertain, but her political needs and debts are unlikely to be in any way positive for its existence.

    • Steve, i am, that’s why i voted Trump. But you can’t blame the ANCA for not endorsing him. He has never publicly spoken about Armenia or Armenian issues and has zero record. At least he advocated for better relations with Russia which should help Armenia. Clinton is an easy non starter. We can count on her continuing the Obama trend of working against AG recognition and working to divide Armenia and Russia.

  2. Clinton is anti-Genocide and anti-Christian. ANCA had no problems endorsing Obama. Trump is clearly pro-Christian and even has the endorsement of the Evangelicals, but the ANCA can’t do it. Pffft!!

  3. Armenians are ignored by many presidents
    I don’t know why …!?
    They serve Americans without reward …
    Betray after betray
    After president Wilson left the scene
    I don’t know why…!?

    What harm Armenians have done
    To their beloved state…!
    Any one can say…???

    Leave them to find their way.
    One day they will realize how much mistake they did …
    To ignore such an artful, honest, dedicated race.

  4. That is great news. Trump is a question mark and Hillary is the typical lying politician. I have more respect for Johyn Mccain who told ANCA in 2008 that now “is not the time on recognition ” than liar Obama who promised and never delivered on genocide recognition.

  5. At last… We finally learnt not to waste our resources on endorsing the POTUS candidates. There are behind-the-scene groups in this “democratic” country whose business is to ensure that nothing–regardless who the president is–changes in the American Establishment. One such group is the infamous Council on Foreign Relations. By the way, Hillary is a CFR member…
