ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF AMERICA - EASTERN REGION
The Armenian National Committee (ANC) is dedicated to advancing the concerns of Armenian-Americans, the foremost of which is achieving recognition of the Armenian Genocide, often referred to as the first modern genocide of the 20th century. In light of the Turkish government's campaign to have U.S. media organizations as well as government officials deny the genocide, the ANC strives to oppose revisionist agendas, which either out of racist or other unscrupulous motives, defame a people through attempting to negate the historicity of its mass victimization.
