Ex-System of a Down singer Serj Tankian had started a political campaign which is going to ask the US authorities to recognize the Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, said Blabbermouth. Tankian’s appeal is dedicated to the civil rights violations victims’ memory day (April 24). This campaign also includes Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and Tankian’s side project Axis of Justice. One of the major parts of this campaign is a video clip in which Serj and his collegues (including congressman Adam Schiff) ask the US president Barak Obama to make the world officially accept the fact that there was a Genocide of Armenians in 1915. Also, Tankian asks viewers to keep on asking the White House and Obama to “end the international ignorance towards this historical tragedy” that took place during the first quarter of the XX century. In his video Tankian had stated that “Barak Obama is the only American president who can actually change this situation to the better and make some significant influence on the international community”. Besides that, Tankian wrote a big article where he explains in details why he is so worried about this topic, why there is no reason to stop such campaign and why he trusts Obama.
