WASHINGTON The Armenian National Committee of America is supporting close Senate scrutiny of President Biden’s controversial nomination this week of former Arizona legislator Jeff Flake – a longstanding ally of Ankara’s campaign of Armenian Genocide denial – to serve as our nation’s next Ambassador to the Republic of Turkey. “Jeff Flake’s long and shameful record of complicity in Turkey’s denial of the Armenian Genocide casts a dark shadow over his nomination,” said ANCA Chairman Raffi Hamparian. “President Biden – who joined earlier this year with the Senate and House in recognizing the Armenian Genocide – is sending the wrong signal to Ankara – backsliding just months after this April’s landmark remembrance. We can and must do better – giving substance to our Armenian Genocide policy by sending Turkey an Ambassador, in the spirit of Henry Morgenthau or John Evans, with a strong public record of forcefully and forthrightly rejecting Ankara’s lies.”
