Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252
* Short: Affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution as introduced.
* Official: Calling upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide, and for other purposes. as introduced.
U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Howard Berman (D-CA), a leading Congressional supporter of human rights and a longstanding friend of the Armenian American community, has scheduled a vote of his panel on the Armenian Genocide Resolution, H.Res.252, for Thursday, March 4th, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
The resolution, which was introduced in Congress back in March 2009, ‘calls upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide, and for other purposes.”
Further in the findings section of the resolution we read the following: “The Armenian Genocide was conceived and carried out by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, resulting in the deportation of nearly 2,000,000 Armenians, of whom 1,500,000 men, women, and children were killed, 500,000 survivors were expelled from their homes, and which succeeded in the elimination of the over 2,500-year presence of Armenians in their historic homeland.”
The House Foreign Affairs Committee adopted legislation similar to H.Res.252, on a bipartisan basis, in 2000, 2005, and 2007. These past measures, despite their broad-based support, did not reach the House floor for an up or down vote, largely due to strident opposition from the Clinton and Bush administrations fearful of Ankara’s threats of retaliation.
President Obama, during his campaign for office, pledged to recognize the Armenian Genocide and specifically voiced his strong support for this exact legislation; his Vice President, Joe Biden, and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, both cosponsored this measure. Since taking office, the Obama Administration has yet to make any comments, either favorably or unfavorably, on the Armenian Genocide Resolution currently before Congress.
Dimitri, how about coming to a FULL recognition of historical facts, which include the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Muslims including Turks, Kurds, Bosniacs, and Albanians in the hands of the Greeks, Armenians, Serbs, and Bulgarians in the final decade of the Ottoman Empire?
ReplyDeleteGreece, for its part, accepted the damage it had caused in western Anatolia during its occupation and admitted to pay 4 BILLION French gold francs as reparation in the Lausanne Treaty, an amount 4 times more than the Ottoman debt Turkey agreed to repay.
It is a historical fact that in 1915, tens of thousands of armed Armenian rebels joined the invading Russian armies, effectively opening a fifth column within the Ottoman territory. It was their high treason that caused these dramatic events, but nobody talks about it.
The Armenian allegations are not a historical fact.
ReplyDeleteWhat newspapers write can never be used to base a genocide, especially publicized in wartime. Photographs could be evidence, but the pictures Armenians are showing are that of people in famine, etc. Such ones we see in every war. Survivors of a war also cannot be evidence of a genocide. Besides, there are also thousands of Turks who survived WWI, who lost parents, children etc. butchered by Armenians (and Greeks). (see the photographs in http://www.ermenisorunu.gen.tr/english/album/index.html)
Facts are:
*Armenian treason in wartime (the most bad thing a citizen can do)
Armenians wanted Eastern Anatolia, so they sided with the enemies of the Ottoman Empire in WWI.
They were armed to the teeth (see the photographs in http://www.ermenisorunu.gen.tr/english/album/index.html).
Or see articles from a pro-Armenian source (NYT) like
http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=2&res=9B03E0DC1738E633A25750C1A9679D946596D6CF where the massive high treason of the Ottoman Armenian citizens is reported.
More reports about Armenian treason in wartime can be found here:

They seized great cities like Van and handed it over to the arch enemy of the Ottoman Empire, Russia. They did everything to weaken the Ottoman army like cutting communication and supply lines, attacking the army when it retreated to escape the Russians.
After such behavior of Armenian citizens, the Ottoman Empire acted like the United States did in WWII when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor: relocation.
US relocated after that attack 110,000 Japanese Americans (men, women, children, elderly people) from the East coast to the interior in order to avoid risks for their war efforts.
The Japanese Americans didn’t even fire one shot, they even didn’t capture a city, they didn’t attack the American army.
I tell this to understand how a state acts in wartime, even the mightiest nation of the world acted in WWII same as the Ottoman Empire although it had compared to them didn’t have a reason.

ReplyDelete*Only 5% of the world community supports the Armenians, and they can only be found under Christians.
The Armenian genoncide is only supported by some Christian nations, this strengthens the fact that they want to help their fellow Christians (Lebanon is an exemption when their parliament took a resolution in 2000, but that has to do with Syria which ruled Lebanon, an enemy of Turkey at that time).
*Parliaments are the last organs who can label an event as a genocide.
It is well known fact that politicians can’t judge about the truth. From the US parliament (Congress) we have seen such failure:
Invasion of Iraq because someone deceived the US Congress (“Saddam has weapons of mass destruction”).
Now another deceivers try their luck: the Armenian Diaspora mafia.
For such reasons the world community has established an organ to judge about conflicts. It’s called the International Court of Justice. Only they can judge if an event can be considered as a genocide. Not the parliaments from Christian nations who think they are the judges.

Vahan - your example of your grand father dying for the Turks, etc. is your experience and you are not saying a thing to refute or dispute what Tomahawk has written. My grandfather and his immediate family was singled out in Selanik, Greece and butchered by the Greeks. He was tied to two horses and pulled apart while my mom and her siblings watched. My mom was the sole survivor as she was 6 at the time. Genocide happened on both sides and if Greeks and Armenians can admit to Genocide, I am sure the Turks will as well. Turks could have forced people to convert, move them to other lands or even kill them during the earlier years of their success (1500s) if they really wanted to do that similar to what the Spanish did or even the Americans did to Native Indians. This in fact was high High Treason and you can specify what you do not agree with in the Tomahawk post:
ReplyDelete-Armenians wanting to take all of Eastern Turkey and committing high Treason?
-Parliaments are the last organs who can label an event as a genocide?
Dear C,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in such stories of the Turks (persecuted in Greece, etc).
Can we contact, I want to know more about that untold episode of the Turks.
Maybe the MaviBoncuk editor can bring us in contact? Only if you are interested.
(Dear editor: could you check this with C? Thanks!)
