"Countdown to Erdogan provides Armenian Americans from across the country a unique chance to take part in a broad range of civic advocacy activities, meaningfully strengthening the capacity of our community, as we increase the moral and political pressure for a truthful and just stand by our government on the Armenian Genocide," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. A New Action Item Each Day: Starting on Monday, November 16th, Week 2 of the "Countdown to Erdogan" campaign began with an online focus on the ANCA YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/ANCAgrassroots and continues on Tuesday and Wednesday with email and call-in days directed at the House of Representatives. Daily action will continue into Thursday, with a focus on the Darfur Genocide, and Friday, with activities to strengthen the Armenian American community's social networking. The weekend will feature a field activity on Saturday and community and family connection opportunities on Sunday. All activities are aimed at educating and inspiring President Obama, on December 7th, to tell the visiting Prime Minister of Turkey that American stands for a truthful and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide.
