The Armenian Genocide: Settled History

“We want to underscore that it is not just Armenians who are affirming the Armenian Genocide but it is the overwhelming opinion of scholars who study genocide: hundreds of independent scholars, who have no affiliations with governments, and whose work spans many countries and nationalities and the course of decades . . . The scholarly evidence reveals the following: On April 24, 1915, under cover of World War I, the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire began a systematic genocide of its Armenian citizens – an unarmed Christian minority population. More than a million Armenians were exterminated through direct killing, starvation, torture, and forced death marches. The rest of the Armenian population fled into permanent exile. Thus an ancient civilization was expunged from its homeland of 2,500 years.”
“The Armenian Genocide was the most well-known human rights issue of its time and was reported regularly in newspapers across the United States and Europe. The Armenian Genocide is abundantly documented by thousands of official records of the United States and nations around the world including Turkey’s wartime allies Germany, Austria and Hungary, by Ottoman court-martial records, by eyewitness accounts of missionaries and diplomats, by the testimony of survivors, and by decades of historical scholarship . . . The Armenian Genocide is corroborated by the international scholarly, legal, and human rights community.”International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) letter to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, 6.13.05“The abundance of scholarly evidence led to the unanimous resolution of the International Association of Genocide Scholars that the Turkish massacres of over one million Armenians from 1915 to 1918 was a crime of genocide.”IAGS letter to U.S. Representatives Tom Lantos and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, 10.5.07
“The Armenian Genocide . . . was the template for all modern genocide – Adolph Hitler was so impressed with the Turkish extermination of the Armenians that it figured in his own genocidal plans.”

Like the Christian Armenians died at the hands of Islamic genocidal militants, those Christians in Southern Sudan also endured a similar fate as the world looked on without helping.

However, Obama jumps at the chance to take out Gaddafi just at the threat of mass killings of Muslims in Libya.

Perhaps it was those darn Crusades that cause world governments to so despise Christians.

Was it controversial? I thought it was funny. Who are you referring to?

And....way to fuck up your own thread, genius. What happened? Didn't get enough attention?

I'd say it's being PC to insist that someone use a particular term to describe something that they obviously find abhorrent.

The genocide is politically correct. Proof of this is that most have never even heard about it. This can only be due to the fact that such information is suppressed by the powers that be that run education.

The genocide is most definitely politically correct. You will never hear the likes of someone like Obama come out and call it genocide. He is too busy trying to make nice with the Islamofascists who are currently murdering Christians in the middle east

You obviously have a hard time understanding what the topic is.

The topic is politically correct genocides.

Again, world leaders like Obama will never come out and call this genocide. In this respect, Obama is no better than the leaders of Iran who refuse to acknowledge the reality of the Jewish Holocaust.

Politically, it is not expedient for Obama to diss the Muslims in Turkey since he is trying to reach out to the Islamic world to make nice, just like it is not politically expedient for Iran to show any sympathy whatsoever to Jews since they wish to destroy them.

The only time the UN and the world seems to be concerned about genocide is when there are political reasons to be concerned.

For example, the Southern Christians in the Sudan were poor and of no strategic importance, so nothing was done to help them. Conversely, Libya is an oil goldmine, which is why the EU told Obama to attack Gaddafi. It is also the reason Bush took out Saddam. The only difference between Obama and Bush is, Obama won a Nobel Peace prize for his efforts.

Obama has called it genocide. Just like Reagan did. Why don't you know that? Making nice, huh? You are a joke. A bad joke.

Votto thinks that international relations requiring judicious dialogue is the same thing as PC. I can't fathom the stupidity.

Obama cut aid to Armenia, tried to force through ridiculous protocols, and said the same BS about arms deals and military bases. But not surprising after he got in office and took the foreign policy line of Bush Jr.

Obama never said there was an Armenian Genocide in his capacity as President like Reagan did. So claiming Obama recognized it in that capacity is untrue, in fact his administration takes the Turkish line every April 24th.

Obama did the same as Bush Jr did on the campaign trail, by claiming he would recognize for Armenian money and votes.

Talk to the Armenian community, and they are either apathetic about Obama or dislike him for his genocide denial stance.

However, one day there could be another President that does stand up against Turkey, rather than cower like Obama, and trade historical truth and human dignity for weapons, oil, and flaky alliances.

Armenian Americans have the support of many Democratic and Republican politicians, both of which speak against genocide denial in the Obama administration.

If you want Armenians to trust Obama, then you lost that trust in 2009. Armenians are looking for a new President, whether that is a Democrat or a Republican. If Clinton doesn't differ and a Republican does, you can be sure the votes and funding will go in that direction in 2016.

If you think 'pfft', then you fail to realize Obama would have never got the edge over the Republicans without the support of Armenians who believed in him, and were eventually betrayed by him.

The powers that be drive PC.

Lone laughter thinks that PC is generated from God only knows where.

It's why today the powers that be support gay marriage but say that polygamy and marriage is "yucky". It's all about satisfying your lobby groups, it has nothing to do with being treated equal

For seventh year in a row, no mention of Armenian 'genocide'
By Louis Jacobson on Friday, April 24th, 2015 at 3:38 p.m.

On this promise, President Barack Obama is now batting zero for seven.

During his first presidential campaign in 2008, Obama said, "Two years ago, I criticized the secretary of state for the firing of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Evans, after he properly used the term 'genocide' to describe Turkey's slaughter of thousands of Armenians starting in 1915. … As president I will recognize the Armenian Genocide."

We first rated this a Promise Broken six years ago, but after a reader noted that we hadn't updated our ruling since 2010 -- and that this year is the centennial of the mass killings -- we decided it was worth doing an update.

As we've noted before, the Armenian genocide was carried out by the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923, and resulted in the deaths of 1.5 million people. The Armenian-American community calls it a "genocide," as do other world leaders, including Pope Francis. Turkey is the primary successor nation to the Ottoman Empire.

But that term has long been controversial in Turkey, where leaders have resisted the label "genocide." Indeed, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told CNN on the eve of the centennial that "we cannot define what happened in 1915 as a genocide."

There's a widespread belief that presidents from both parties have avoided the use of the word because they don't want to upset Turkey -- a geopolitically significant ally of the United States and a key member of the NATO military alliance.

On April 23, 2015, Obama released a statement on Armenian Remembrance Day. And as he has in the past, he used phrases such as "mass atrocity" and "terrible carnage," but he did not use the word "genocide." Here are excerpts:

"Beginning in 1915, the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire were deported, massacred, and marched to their deaths. Their culture and heritage in their ancient homeland were erased. Amid horrific violence that saw suffering on all sides, one and a half million Armenians perished. ...

"This centennial is a solemn moment. It calls on us to reflect on the importance of historical remembrance, and the difficult but necessary work of reckoning with the past. I have consistently stated my own view of what occurred in 1915, and my view has not changed. A full, frank, and just acknowledgement of the facts is in all our interests. Peoples and nations grow stronger, and build a foundation for a more just and tolerant future, by acknowledging and reckoning with painful elements of the past. …

"On this solemn centennial, we stand with the Armenian people in remembering that which was lost. We pledge that those who suffered will not be forgotten. And we commit ourselves to learn from this painful legacy, so that future generations may not repeat it."

Armenian-American advocates expressed disappointment. "President Obama's surrender to Turkey represents a national disgrace. It is, very simply, a betrayal of truth, a betrayal of trust," said Ken Hachikian, the chairman of the Armenian National Committee of America, according to CNN.

CNN quoted an "administration official" saying, "We know and respect that there are some who are hoping to hear different language this year. We understand their perspective, even as we believe that the approach we have taken in previous years remains the right one -- both for acknowledging the past, and for our ability to work with regional partners to save lives in the present."

We rate this -- again -- a Promise Broken.
