Obama issued a statement Wednesday calling the Armenian genocide an atrocity, refusing to call it by its real name, which is “genocide.” The US government, in a craven and contemptible manner, has for decades refused to call it genocide, apparently for fear of upsetting Turkey. Like other presidents before him, Obama had indicated while campaigning [...]

This has been a long, time time coming… The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted narrowly on Thursday to condemn as genocide the mass killings of Armenians early in the last century, defying a last-minute plea from the Obama administration to forgo a vote that seemed sure to offend Turkey and jeopardize delicate efforts at Turkish-Armenian [...]

Between one and one-and-a-half million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Empire in a mass extermination in 1915, now called the Armenian Genocide, that included death marches and prison camps. It is widely acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides, as many Western sources point to the systematic, organized manner in which [...]

(Bill Paparian, former mayor of Pasadena CA, continues his guest posts on the continuing refusal of the US Congress to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide happened) Adam Schiff, Howard Berman, and Nancy Pelosi are perpetrating a cruel hoax upon the Armenian-American community.

This even though he opposes the resolution. Interesting. (Since it’s a resolution, there’s nothing to veto, but apparently he’s chosen not to pressure House Republicans to oppose it.) Update: Here’s why. The Democrats, including Pelosi, are doing it for him.

It now goes to the House floor, where Democratic leaders say there will be a vote by mid-November. There is a companion bill in the Senate, but both measures are strictly symbolic, and do not require the president’s signature.

A Congressional committee votes tomorrow on whether to recognize the Armenian genocide. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the heavily Armenian area of Glendale / Pasadena is a primary sponsor of the bill. Meanwhile Jane Harman (DINO-CA) has done another of her usual flip-flops to the conservative side by now opposing the bill she once supported. Turkey [...]
