VASHINGTON, JUNE 15, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. In a major blow to Turkey's global campaign to suppress the truth about the Armenian Genocide, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Mark Wolf ruled in favor of the Massachusetts Department of Education, allowing it to continue teaching the facts of the Armenian Genocide and other crimes against humanity in schools' history books and speak about this in public schools. According to the Azg daily, the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA) appreciates the court's decision emphasizing that it sends a clear message to Turkey and its revisionist allies that history cannot be rewritten to further Ankara's state-sponsored denial campaign. Carolyn Mugar, the Board's President stressed that owing to the overwhelming historical and legal evidence documenting the incontestable fact of the Armenian Genocide, this ruling is a victory for all those concerned about genocide education and prevention of such crimes.
