AHEPA Calls on President Obama to Recognize Armenian
Genocide, Congress to Pass Resolution
In the lead-up to the centenary commemorating the Armenian Genocide,
AHEPA called on President Barack
Obama to fulfill his presidential campaign pledge and recognize the systematic killing of 1.5 million Armenians by
Ottoman Turks as Genocide.
"On the solemn occasion that marks
the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, the American Hellenic community praises the actions of Pope
Francis, the European Parliament and
other governing bodies throughout
the world, and the editorial boards
of prominent domestic and international publications, all of which have
recognized the Armenian Genocide,"
Supreme President Phillip T. Frangos
said. "We call on President Obama similarly to issue a statement in recognition of the Armenian Genocide. We join
with the Armenian American community in remembrance of those individuals that perished during the Armenian
Genocide, and we also remember the
slaughter of all Christian minorities
during that time period, including
Pontian and Anatolian Greeks. May
their memories be eternal."
Unfortunately, President Obama
failed to acknowledge the Armenian
Genocide to commemorate the
centenary.
AHEPA also has urged Congress
to pass H.Res.154, the Armenian
Genocide Truth and Justice Resolution.
Introduced by U.S. Rep. Robert Dold
(R-IL), H.Res.154 has 62 co-sponsors
and strong bipartisan support.
H.Res.154 contains a Whereas
Clause that states the Republic of
Turkey has increased its pressure on
those in Turkish civil society who seek
"justice for this systematic campaign of
destruction of millions of Armenians,
Greeks, Assyrians, Pontians, Syriacs,
and other Christians upon their biblical-era homelands."
Supreme President Frangos Attends Exhibit on Greek Jewish
Resistance during WWII
Supreme President Phillip T. Frangos attended
the opening of "Synagonistis: Greek Jews in
the National Resistance," an exhibit presented
by the Embassy of Greece that tells the story
of Greek Jewish resistance during World War
II. The exhibition officially opened April 21,
2015 at the Washington Hebrew Congregation,
Washington, DC. It ran daily through to May
26, 2015.
"AHEPA is a proud co-sponsor of the exhibit,
which highlights the crucial role Greek Jews
played during World War Two," Frangos said.
"We commend the Embassy of Greece, Jewish
Museum of Greece and the Secretariat General
for Communication for organizing the exhibit
and we also sincerely appreciate the generous
support of our fellow co-sponsors."
In addition to AHEPA, AHI, B'nai B'rith
International, American Friends of the Jewish
Museum of Greece, and Athina Balta Law
Supreme President Frangos takes in the exhibit with other attendees.
Group LLC, were co-sponsors.
