  1. Dear sir Mr Obama.
    for 94 years what the Armenians went through,promises made by world leaders,then neglected,ignored,ridiculed.but as an individual and proud Armenian,what hurt me more is a comment made by a shamless Mr Shimon Peres in 2000 when congress where ready to pass a resolution for the recognition of the Armenian genocide.(we reject attempts to create a similarity between the holocaust and the Armenian allegations nothing similar to a holocaust occur it was a tragedy what the Armenians went through but not a genocide).
    1-mr Shimon Peres comparisons are not useful.
    2-Mr Shimon Peres you are a politician not an historian and therefore you don`t have the knowledge to make such comments.
    3-and the world leaders letting him get away with it.
    4-reason politics?is this what America stand for (for its own interest)
    Mr Obama I am sure you will do the right thing.
    the best to you.
