Armenian Lobby attempts to pressure Bush

Posted: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 at 08:52 AM CT


The Armenian lobby tried to put the word "genocide" in the text of Bush's message that he will deliver on April 24, which is officially celebrated as "Armenian Commemmoration Day" in the US. 101 of 435 members of the American House of Representatives wrote a letter to President George W.Bush to demand the inclusion of this word in the text. However, Cheney, Rice, Powell and Rumsfeld warned Bush not to use the word "genocide".
