This is getting really ridiculous. This article could have been written in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, or today. It’s the same EXACT article that’s been written for 30 years!!! How can the Armenian media survive while offering readers nothing but rehashed false hopes? This article doesn’t even TRY to explain what the reality of the situation is, nor does it try to remind readers that similar resolutions have been similarly supported just about 105,254 times! This is simply lazy journalism.
Impressive. My deep concern is that it will fall on deaf ears at the White House, and President Obama will hide behind his normal description of the Genocide, as the ” Medz Yehghern” that no one other than Armenians will understand what he means. What a wimp !!!
My humble suggestion to the ANCA- both ER and WR region, is to embark on an email campaign addressed to President Obama at the White House.
Also, as it is obvious that we have more Democrats with moral fortitude and integrity than Republicans, we also embark an email campaign to the Republican National Committee and Republican National Senatorial Committee. I am of the opinion that there are American Armenians who are registered Republicans, who can influence the Republican party, especially that 2016 elections will be politically nasty and contentious.

Barack Obama already acknowledged the genocide when he was a candidate for President. And he asserts every April that he has not changed his mind. Why not use these facts to our advantage and broadcast often and everywhere a “Thank you, Mr. Obama, for acknowledging the Armenian Genocide” campaign. We are foolish not to make the most of the words he himself spoke. He can’t deny it and we can use it.
My great Grandmother lost her family in Banderma, Ottoman Empire in 1915.
That is why she was always praying, my family said, when I was five years old.
Vagharshak, I’ve been thinking the same thing for 6 years….. “For those of you that aren’t aware, there was a genocide that did take place against the Armenian people.” Barack Obama
as a young boy of 5 or maybe 6 years of age i was sitting among Armenians young and old ,listening to their conversations.Someone mentioned the chart aka massacres.this was the very first time a sat and heard the many brutal acts of the turks.I noticed one man small in stature hunched over with a red welt across his back below his neck.being curious i asked what it was,i was told by others not to ask that question again,being naive i asked again and this time he answered.When the turks would cut off the head of the Armenians their headless bodies were thrown in the pit.The sword to behead him had become so blunt that all it left was this red mark.He started to weep along with the other elders,we the youn ,were in shock,we stood and promised revenge against the turks,they just rubbed our heads and told us not to forget,that was 1955 or 1956 in athens greece how can this world be oblivious to this crime.
One of the reasons that the Turkish majority deny the Genocide is because all the people who executed it are dead and their text books teach that it was all just part of war. And the Turks who are in the know are supposedly systematically destroying the libraries across the region who still have documentation. They need to destroy it to be able to get into the UN someday (or so I understand).
