    • really? I was at the centeninial in NYC..was Hillary Clinton? You know, who said it was a matter of historical debate?
      did this rep support Clinton in the last race? if so, he is talking out of both sides of his mouth….did he call her out on that? If not, he is talking out of both sides of his mouth…period.

  1. very important targets that Rep. trott has espoused. However, while stating that the U.S. and “many other countries” have not recognized the genocide, I wonder why he does not mention big power countries that have. namely, Russia, Germany and France.

  2. I believe strongly America never recognize becose politically partner withe
    Turkey. so so so.

  3. Seriously, or research us Armenian’s need to start disrespecting American History, Jewish,Black,and Turkish.Until they learn to respect Armenians.US Armenian’s need to stand up to our enemies and make them respect us either piecefully or by force.

    We Armenian’soccer can make America,Turkey,Isreal and the rest of outer Enemies respect us Armenian’s peacefully or we can make there lives a living he’ll they way they have been trying to make us.

    God bless the Armenian people and Power to the Armenian people.

    It’s time the world start respecting us Armenian’s.

  5. Congressman, thank you for your depth of feeling for the Armenians and Armenia. Please count on me as a supporter, even though my district (CT) is far removed from MI. I am humbled by your understanding of the importance of the American-Armenians’ campaign for US recognition of these atrocities of the past. Thank you and God Bless You.

  6. This was all good, Rep. Trott. But I am disappointed that you could not resist spoiling a well-stated opinion with a cheap, and false, swipe at former President Obama. The piece would have been appropriate and effective without the false allegation of “8 years of disengagement from the international arena” and the assertion that America has, in those 8 years, lost “its prominence on the world stage.”

    As you noted, this is the 102nd anniversary of this terrible event. Many administrations have held office over the past 102 years. The Bush administration urged Congress to reject a similar resolution in 2007. Eight former secretaries of state from both Democratic and Republican administrations have opposed similar resolutions in the past. This is not a partisan issue, as is evident from your bi-partisan effort to craft the resolution. Yet, sadly, you included an unnecessary and false partisan attack into the conversation.

    Cheap politics ruin an otherwise well-stated piece. If you can remove that paragraph, this piece could stand up proudly. Sadly, you made the decision to be partisan, and that diminishes both the opinion piece and the resolution that it promotes.

  7. thanks but no thanks,it is too late for recognition,if the turks deny it does not mean anything to me,do you think that turkey would after more then 100 yrs will recognize it?

  8. Very well said Arman. What difference will it make, after so many years, whether the US or Turkey recognize it as genocide? Will they give our lands and property back? Will Turkey and the US stop the Azeri aggression against Armenia and Artsakh? We should only depend on our own strength and unity and not rely on any outsider to be our savior.
