These are good priorities. Thanks to the ANCA and Armenian Weekly and best wishes for great progress in 2017.
I want to mention that Donald Trump has recently sold his hotel investments in Georgia and Azerbaijan. That is a good thing.
But why did he invest there in the first place?
I suspect that someone advised him to.
That brings to mind his son-in-law and advisor: Jared Kushner.
His background raises certain questions about what sort of advice he will be giving Trump about the 3 nations of the Caucasus, especially because the Kushner family is a huge supporter of Israel, which is in turn a huge supporter of Azerbaijan.
Let us keep an eye on Kushner and Trump’s other appointees please.
???? God BLESS YOU ???????????? !!!!!!
Aram has done a great job this past year, and has articulated bold priorities for the next two years (i.e., the 115th Congress). I thank ANCA and ANCA supporters for their on-line campaign to get my book, Truth Held Hostage, into the hands of Executive Branch personnel. I wrote the book in part for this purpose, to explain for fellow non-Armenians what the issue of the Genocide is all about and why it matters. I”m happy when Armenian-Americans buy it, but even happier when it gets into the hands of those many folks who know nothing about Armenia, Armenians, and the Genocide — folks who are like I was before I got to know Armenia and you all!
Recognizing the Genocide would be the moral and principled action to take. Sadly, George-political realities often come before moral actions in every nation.
However, as Armenia willingly draws closer to and enters the Russian orbit, I see no reason to increase American tax payer dollars to Armenia. Humanitarian aid should be our only aid,
Aram has an astute political mind. I would be grateful for his (and any readers’) thoughts on the following strategy: try to frame denial of the Armenian Genocide as just another type of Political Correctness. Just like President Obama wouldn’t say “Radical Islamic Terrorism” in order to avoid offending Muslims, he also wouldn’t say “Armenian Genocide” in order to avoid offending a Muslim leader. President-Elect Trump got elected on pledges to do away with Political Correctness and to always tell the truth, regardless of who gets offended. What better way to do that than to speak honestly about what occurred in 1915?
