ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY, SURVIVORS, EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS FILE COURT MOTION TO INTERVENE AGAINST GENOCIDE DENIAL IN MASSACHUSETTS CLASSROOMS

WASHINTON, DC, DECEMBER 22. ARMINFO. The Assembly today joined a group of Massachusetts teachers, students and Armenian Genocide survivors in filing a motion in U.S. District Court to intervene in a lawsuit filed by the Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) and others arguing that denial of the Armenian Genocide should be taught in Massachusetts public schools.

Today’s motion sets the record straight and exposes the underlying fallacy of the arguments presented by those who continue to deny the overwhelming body of evidence attesting to this crime against humanity.

“This case is nothing but an attempt by the plaintiffs to fuel a discredited position and contradicts the current trend in Turkish society to understand its past,” said Massachusetts native and Assembly Board of Trustees President Carolyn Mugar. “Clearly this matter is only being brought to the courts out of desperation. More than 120 Holocaust and Genocide scholars from the U.S., Europe and Israel have publicly affirmed the genocide as an incontestable historical fact and urged Turkey to recognize it as such. Yet deniers continue to seek new ways to impose their unconscionable distortions on young minds.”

President Emeritus of Boston University Dr. Aram Chobanian, an intervenor in the case, said “The evidence regarding this genocide is incontrovertible.”
