Why Can't the White House Acknowledge the Armenian Genocide?

[CyberAgeGary]

The house passed the bill to Acknowledge this terrible act by Turkey back in 1915. The White House does not want to approve this bill to acknowledge because we use Turkey's Airspace for the figh in Iraq.. That's Bullshit.. Fuck The White House and Bush...

[Shagbunny]

we've been trying to fuck them for 7 years now....

[Shagbunny]

which reminds me when's the next US election exactly?

[G-Rotica]

why does anyone care? It was almost a hundred years ago. get over it.

You would care to if your grandparents or great aunts, uncles were murdered for no fuckin reason by some fuckin punk ass government... We just want them to admit what they have done.. That's not too much to ask for...

Gary, what I say is not hate - as I have some good friends in the armenian community.

However, Armenia does nothing for the US. Turkey on the other hand basically opened its borders for any use the US military wants. Therefore Turkey = better ally than Armenia. The US is Imperialist, therefore the interests of the military come first.

The whitehouse doesn't care if it was genocide or not. They just want to continue having unrestricted access to Turkey for the war of terror.

you're an idiot.



Armenia is not going to be granted the acknowledgment of genocide because Bush put us at war with Iraq; a country we should have never been at war with. And now, because of this selfish reason, he refuses to acknowledge the genocide so he dosnt lose turkey as a buddy in the efforts to free Iraq

Relationship with Turkey to stay good or not, it is like Ahmadinejad claiming the Jewish genocide did not take place.

It is plain wrong not to acknowledge it happened and an embarrassment that the Bush government is rejecting it just to "save a relationship" in order to (ab)use Turkey as a deployment place for their (and this is where I think you were right...) WAR OF TERROR.

I really hope the resolution goes all the way through, and if it does and the US/Turkish relationship does indeed goes bad - well, we should pull out of Iraq anyways so maybe it even speeds up the process if Turkey throws us out. That would be a good thing IMHO.

I agree 200%.

[jacked]

the reason they don't want to acknowledge the genocide is because it would royally piss the turks off, in turn we'd lose "key" military installations and air space in their country, does it mean it's right not at all but bush and his cronies have to keep that war in iraq going so you know they'll do what they have to do for the time being... god i hate our president

and g-rotica you have some issues you and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are on the same level... cock sucker has the nerve to say "the holocaust never happend"

[Just_Dave]

I should like to see any power in this world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose music is unheard and whose prayers are no more answered.Go ahead, destroy Armenia, see if you can do it. Send them from their homes into the desert, let them have neither bread nor water. Burn their homes and churches. Then, see if they will not laugh again, see if they will not sing and pray again. For, when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia.

Incorrect.
The idiot who started this bill in the house should be impeached for stupidity. There is no reason to acknowledge jack shit from 100yrs ago just to make some armeniens feel good and embarrass an ally. Turkey will eventually turn on us and we can acknowledge it then. No need to do it now while they're doing our bidding.

[ineedafix]

the real reason is that armenian's suck as a culture. they are loud, obnoxious, and when you go to a club they think they are the coolest guys there with their hairy chests and over powering cologne.

living in l.a. you get to see alot of them and they suck. they have horrible taste when it comes to homes. they build mcmansions with large entrance ways and gaudy decorations


how many armenians care about the jewish holocaust? non because they are all anti-semitic

I'll refrain from calling you an idiot even tho you come off as one. You expect an entire country to sit on the back burner until the US is on bad terms with turkey?? Or are done using them in a useless war??? haha, nice one

and just for the record, this will be pushed over BEFORE the hundred year mark because unfortunately there are people like you in government who keep repeating the words "a hundred years ago!" as if it makes it better.

Ps- I suppose the holocaust was accepted "so Jews feel better"

the majority of this is true. Some Armenians are loud, hairy, make great money and tend to add some tasteless decors to their homes i.e. gold plated lions lollll

but you're a jackass if your impression of Armenians is what you see at a club. and your last statement is absolutely preposterous. troll

Armenians build mansions because then can. They can afford it. Armenians act cool at the clubs, probably because they, or one of their cousins, brothers, friends owns that club. They wear heavy cologne, because they have so much of it at home, they have to use more.. There are probably more armenians in the adult industry, they any other race other then white..

The U.S.A. should acknowledge the genocide and then we can all move on...

Who are you to say all Armenians are anti semetic and don't care about the holocaust? You're an idiot, and for the record, it wasn't the "jewish" holocaust, there were disabled people, kids, gypsys and old people killed aswell. The jews just like to call it the jewish holocaust because they think they are superior to everyone else and think they are gods "chosen people".

[gaymale]

For the same reason those morons in the white house still think we can win that invasion in Iraq (note we are not at war with Iraq sinc we never declared war).

[DaddyHalbucks]

Because Turkey is a key ally in the war, and they will go ape shit if this resolution passes.

Once again, the Dems are threatening our national security.

I love how some of you people get so upset over this rubbish. Especially the self righteous bleeding heart pompous types. The bottom line is politics are dirty and based on who has more soap to wash my hands with. If you can't understand that then you have no business even discussing this topic and should stick to watching sesame street with your moron children. The USA will do what is "right" when it suits the USA. Not a second sooner not a second later. I know plenty of black people still waiting on their 40 acres and a mule and plenty of Indians who are still wondering where their mountains went. I would like to own Puerto Rico in the name of the Taínos.... it ain't gonna happen. So please find something more fitting to crusade on or bitch about.... like prices at TGI Fridays or whatever other inane drivel fills your bleeding heart lives.

Adolf Hitler
While persuading his associates that a Jewish holocaust would be tolerated by the west stated? "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Gerald Ford
Addressing the US House of Representatives. "Mr. Speaker, with mixed emotions we mark the 50th anniversary of the Turkish genocide of the Armenian people. In taking notice of the shocking events in 1915, we observe this anniversary with sorrow in recalling the massacres of Armenians and with pride in saluting those brave patriots who survived to fight on the side of freedom during World War I. - Congressional Record, pg. 8890"

Talat Pasha
In a conversation with Dr. Mordtmann of the German Embassy in June 1915? 6/1/1915 - "Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate (grundlich aufzaumen) its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention. What on earth do you want? The question is settled. There are no more Armenians."

Theodore Roosevelt
May 11, 1918, letter to Cleveland Hoadley Dodge 5/11/1918 - ". . . the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it . . . the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense."

The Turkish republic was "born" in 1923, everything before that was another goverment/empire or whatever you call it. Go find the ottoman rulers and ask them what they did during the war.. Hey and don't forget to ask the armenians what the fuck they did during that war.

So what did us armenians do during the war

[UniversalPassLorence]

It was discussing watching the House Foreign Affairs Representatives on TV yesterday discussing the Armenian Genocide. 90% plus admit and mentioned there was a Genocide buy the Turkish government as an absolute fact, but they said Turkey is our Allie, and the timing is not correct. Go figure.
Fuckin politicians. Can?t stand them

It has been very frustrating for years and thanks to organizations like ANCA.ORG and the power of people it will be recognized.
