The Honorable Barack H. Obama
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500, USA

Dear Mr. President:

Please accept our congratulations and best wishes, Mr. President, for a very fruitful and rewarding term at the White House. We sincerely hope that your presidency will bring the much needed change in the world political scene, away from polarizations and conflict, and towards compassion and peace. I am sure you will agree, that the great leader and founding father of Republic of Turkey in 1923, ATATURK’s immortal words may best guide us all into the anxious future: “Peace at Home, Peace in the World.”

We urge you to be fair in your dealings with all, but especially with Turkey, given the increased pressure the Armenian lobby has been applying on you recently. In this day and age of global village with internet and satellites, I am sure you will agree with me, Mr. President, that the old motto “all politics is local” is no longer valid. We sincerely hope that you will not offend and estrange Turkey on 24 April 2009 by using the term genocide to describe the human tragedy that affected all the people of Anatolia during WWI (Turks, Armenians, and others alike,) not just the Armenians.

Mr. President, you are the leader of the free world now with tremendous responsibility. You are no longer a candidate without any accountability. Whatever you promised Armenians when you were a candidate cannot be allowed to hold the great American interests hostage to nagging Armenian squabbling. An erroneous choice of words on your behalf can have lasting destructive effects on the United States-Turkey relations for many decades to come. I hope and trust that you realize the gravity of this situation. No internal politics is worth losing the confidence and support of one of the greatest allies of America in the last 50+ years.

The Turkish-Armenian conflict is one of inter-communal warfare fought by Muslim and Christian irregular forces against a backdrop of a world war. This issue cannot be explained without acknowledging the Armenian propaganda, agitation, terrorism, raids, rebellions, treason, territorial demands, and Turkish suffering and losses caused by all of these factors, in that order, from 1890 to 1921, where 1915 is a stop in that tragic journey.

We urge you, Mr. President, to be on the side of dialog and peace; not polarization and conflict. Please support more research, study, and debate on such complex historical events by impartial historians, not legislation of history by politicians. Principles of fairness prevent the settlement of this matter by partisan groups with vested interests. We support, therefore, Turkey’s 2005 offer to Armenia to establish a Joint Historical Commission which is, so far, rejected by Armenia.

As Turkish Forum, we look forward to meeting the challenges of a new chapter between the United States and Turkey and pledge to you our full support to improve and advance this relationship to the benefit of both of our nations.

Truthfully Yours,
