Dear Friend,
EUROPE NEEDS YOU !
On december 17, 2004, negotiations with Turkey began for its possible entry into the European Union.
It is necessary that Turkey recognizes its previous Genocide of the Armenian people. This must be a precondition for Turkey's acceptance into the European Union.
Thank you for signing and encouraging others to sign the enclosed Petition.
If you have the opportunity, please place the Petition on line and alert your local Armenian Press.
THE PEOPLE MUST SPEAK !
Thank you for your assistance in memory of the sacrifice of our parents.
Cordially
