A series of formerly classified State Department cables, recently made available through the National Archives and Records Administration, provide first-hand insights into the cooperation during the early 1970s between the U.S. and Turkish governments seeking to block the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the United Nations, Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reported.
"These files provide new insights into the depths to which our own government has sunk in its complicity with Turkey's denial of the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
