JTW News - A Split in the Armenian Diaspora

"A Split in the Armenian Diaspora
Two separate Armenian lobbies, both active in the US, have come to blows over their differing claims of genocide and demands from Turkey. The lobby representing the extremely nationalistic Armenian Tasnaksutyen Party, ANCA, has accused the American Armenian Assembly (AAA), of taking part in a conspiracy by the White House. According to ANCA, the AAA is playing a role in the Bush adminstration's efforts to get Turkey to accept genocide charges in return for not having to give up any land or monetary reperations to Armenia."
