Dear Friends of HEC,
There is a new Themis campaign that is seeking to build on a recent success by the Hellenic American community. Recently, Governor George Pataki of New York issued a proclamation that recognized the Hellenic Genocide of 1922. At the present time, supporters of Turkish historical revisionism are attempting to export Ankara's brand of censorship to the United States.
Themis calls on all Hellenes, Armenians, Assyrians and Philhellenes to sign our petition at
http://www.greece.org/themis/ny/ Hellenic, Armenian and Assyrian history is not open to debate. We all have a responsibility to remember those who were
slaughtered in Asia Minor, to remember those ancient homelands from which Hellenism, Armenians and Assyrians were eradicated, and to educate non-Hellenes of these crimes that were not only against Hellenism, but all humanity as well.
Governor George Pataki deserves the thanks of all Hellenes, Armenians and Assyrians for his gesture. Governor Pataki is being heavily criticized by supporters of Turkish Genocide denial, and letters are being sent in urging the Governor to withdraw the proclamation. We urge friends of HEC to thank Governor Pataki by signing the thank you letter at the above mentioned site. Let us always remember the history of Hellenism and Christianity in Asia Minor.
History is not debatable. Please sign the THANK YOU note.
