Recently, the Heritage Foundation published a report, Capitalism in the 1619 Project, seeking to disqualify the 1619 Project curricular materials as insufficiently celebratory of American capitalism.

Key Points: 
  • Recently, the Heritage Foundation published a report, Capitalism in the 1619 Project, seeking to disqualify the 1619 Project curricular materials as insufficiently celebratory of American capitalism.

Key Points: 
  • Armenian Genocide denial is a policy manufactured in Ankara, exported to America, and enforced in Washington by President Trump, said Armenian National Committee of America ANCA Executive Director Aram Suren Hamparian.

  • Having promised an America First presidency, President Trump has pursued a Turkey First policy on the Armenian Genocide.
  • Having vowed to restore U.S. leadership, he has, instead, outsourced American human rights policy to a foreign dictator, concluded Hamparian.
