Power has been a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and was a senior adviser to U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama until March 2008 and now she has been named to a position on the National Security Council.


Her recent book, "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide, was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction, the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general non-fiction, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Prize for the best book in U.S. foreign policy. Power was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy (1998-2002). From 1993-1996, Power covered the wars in the former Yugoslavia as a reporter for the U.S. News and World Report, the Boston Globe, and the Economist. A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, she moved to the United States from Ireland at the age of nine.

Power has been an outspoken advocate of Armenian Genocide recognition. She participated in an ANC-Greater Washington Area conference on Genocide denial held at Georgetown University. She was also a featured speaker at the Armenian Genocide commemorative program in San Francisco, among a host of other Armenian American community engagements.

Those who oppose the recognition of the Armenian Genocide should think very carefully. Their denial is a clear signal for others to commit genocide knowing very well that their atrocities will not be condemned. Those who deny the Armenian Genocide have the blood of millions of innocent people on their hands. Lets face it, Turkey is not the only country in denial. The deniers should hang their head in SHAME!
