When Telling the Truth is a Firing Offense (and Supporting Genocide Denial gets You Promoted)
So, what exactly are the rules governing the U.S. government’s gag rule prohibiting mention of the Armenian Genocide?
What precisely are the details and dictates of our own American version of Turkey’s Article 301?

Vay, vay, vay!
This is why I trust no US politican on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide unless they are themselves Armenian. This is also one reason among others that I am an Independent. Politicans say anything to get elected then turn their back on you once in office. We Armenians need to not only get a pledge from politicans before the election to support recognition of the Armenian Genocide but also put them on severe notice that we will roast them if they lie to us.
A big thank you to Aram Hamparian for turning over a huge rock. It all needed to be said. It is the absolute and literal truth.
Armenians are
a joke, they do not take themselves seriously, and they are offended when
others do the same.
Recognition, Respect, Restitution come from inner strength, not from the moral
generosity of others.

Thank you again Aram for your article and pointing out that the American government unfortunately are not siding with the truth about the AG but against it, unfortunately same as the Turkish denyalist government.
Instead of investing so much effort, time and money into the US government’s acceptance of the Armenian Genocide, I suugest that all that money and effort would be given to support Armenia and Artsakh and work toward Artsakh’s recognition by the world powers.
Yes Sventlana,
Obama promote himself to win next US presidential election, by eliminating US enemy Osama Bin laden!!US Armenians have to wait for another 4 years. This will be a Turkish wedding dance in Ankara, and for “Robert the turk”!!
It is very sad and disappointing that every Presidential candidate,before being elected during the campaign promises that he will recognize the Genocide. Once elected, due to known and unknown reasons and influences they change their mind. They never keep their promise or pledge.
The last one to do so was Obama. He is a liar and an oppotunitist. What the Armenian community has erred in, is that over the years we have recast out votes for the President in the second term elections. Thus, no message was given in response to their flagrant violation of our trust and confidence in them.
I urge and beg that every sinlge armenian, regardless of their political affiliation, in the next election to not- repeat not- vote for Obama. We have to give a very strong message to him, and future candidates, that they cannot take the armenian vote for granted by making empty and unkept promises.
I am confident that in certain states like California, Massachusetts ( two key states) we can have an influence on the vote count, and swing the electoral votes.
It is time that we show we are serious.

Vart,
As of late, the only president that mentioned the Armenian Genocide was President Raegan, may God bless him. Yes, all the others betrayed us. I sure hope that no Armenian will vote Obama again.
