U.S. SENATE MAJORITY LEADERS CALLS ON CLINTON TO MEET WITH ARMENIAN AMERICAN LEADERS
- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has formally shared the reservations of the Silver State's Armenian community regarding the dangers of the recently signed Turkey- Armenia Protocols with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). In an October 30, 2009 letter to ANCA-Nevada activist Razmig Libarian, the Senate leader reported that he had recently written to Secretary Clinton to pass along the concerns of his state's citizens of Armenian heritage, and to encourage her to meet directly with the national leadership of the Armenian American community regarding the state of Turkey-Armenia relations. In his letter to Secretary Clinton, dated October 20, 2009, Senator Reid wrote: "I am sure you are aware that this agreement has raised concerns in the Armenian community inside the United States. I have received many letters from Nevadans who do not support the creation of an international commission to examine the historical record on the genocide and who believe that the agreements are unfair to Armenia. Given the serious nature of the community's concerns, I felt it was important to raise them directly with you. The commission is particularly sensitive to the Armenian-American community since the Armenian genocide has never been recognized by Turkey." Despite the high profile of Armenia-Turkey ties in the Obama-Biden Administration's foreign policy agenda, neither President Obama nor Secretary Clinton has met with the Armenian American community leadership.
