He said that the first step of the diaspora Armenians will be the cessation of financing to Armenia.
Chairman of one of the major Armenian diaspora organizations in United States, Armenian National Congress of America (ANCA) Ken Hachikian stressed that the protocols that are signed by Turkey and Armenia are single-sided. He said, “Although it is disappointing, signing of the protocols is Turkey’s success.” Stating that ANCA and all Armenians in United States will continue their struggle for the justice, Hachikian said that they will not let Turkey to undermine Armenian allegations on 1915 events through protocols.
