If there was no Genocide why has the International Association of Genocide Scholars recognized the Armenian Genocide? They have no ties to Armenia

OBAMA SAID: "The Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence. The facts are undeniable."

"There is no debate outside of Turkey that a cowardly Genocide took place by the Turks which resulated in inspirsing Hitlers genocide

[nevberNYC]

I thought it was very interesting in how he was singling out the "Evil Turkish Government" sticking his nose into the American internal affairs, when clearly he was representing only the Armenian political views on Genocide. So, Where does the Turkish American community stand in this line of thinking? If he as an American-Armenian does not want Turkish Government medaling with American affairs, then American-Turks does not want Armenian Government meddling with American affairs as well.

[AshKrikorian]

The US stands for human rights and for freedom. We are allied with a nation that does not allow freedom of expression, is not for human rights and denies the act of committing a Genocide.

That is why we need to show the American gov't who they are dealing with. Do you deny the actions the tukrish gov't makes to this day?

btw where in NY are you from? It's funny that we didn't see any of you at the Genocide commemoration in Times Square.

[sakoaper1]

Excellent campaign, excellent coverage, wonderful.

[usarmenian]

Turkish scholars have appeared at venues such as UCLA and explained that present day Turks have been kept ignorant of the Genocide their predecessors committed. The phrase they use to describe this 'phenomenon' is "amnesia". The civilized world must not suffer the consequences of this "amnesia". Keep educating the world - way to go ANCA and all fair minded people!!!!

[sarkishiking]

"No taxation without representation"

Time to take our Country back from the hijackers in Washington.

[GaroArmen]

here we go again,banned this clip also?Turks what a cry baby,they committed the most herrific acts of Genocides against three ethnic people(armenians,Greeks and assyrians)now they want to silence us too?no way.

[ArmenianGenocide0]

Also I love the fact that we continue to mention these 1915 facts, continue to spend thousands or maybe millions of dollars on lobbying Washington for the purpose of recognizing an event 93 years ago, that is still disputed, an event in which the supposed culprits are all dead (assassinated by our Armenian brethren), yet we still cannot provide these proofs. The truth is coming out, since the opening of Turkish archives we are learning more. When will Armenia open it's archives?

[ArmenianGenocide0]

What an excellent propaganda speech. There is nothing going on with Turkey, the whole subject of what the person on stage is talking about is non-existent, the Republic of Turkey does not and cannot do anything in the United States. That is why we keep having these "Armenian Genocide Resolutions" because people in the ANCA keep alarming Armenians by telling them "OH NOE, THE BIG BAD TURKS ARE AT IT AGAIN! QUICK DONATE MORE TO ANCA...". It's a scare tactic and we had enough of it from the ANCA!

[Beranyan]

It is knowledge makes life rich,

Enthusiasm makes it exciting,

But it is wisdom makes it endurable.

P.S. Until know what we tried to prove, it has been proved by all victims of family individuals result of their unrelenting work effort and day by day some of person of the characters from Turkish intellectuals coming out with the Ottomans archives to prove what took place as the Armenian genocide.

But as everybody else or as me you are very welcome to present your comments.

Thanks a lot

As a Jewish feminist, I am in solidarity with the Armenian community in its efforts to gain recognition for the horrific Armenian genocide. I am angered and appalled that Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League has obstructed these efforts. I agree with the Armenian community that there is "no place for denial!"

[paulkasabian]

let's go Armenians,I love you all

[ShineCity711]

Jesus the Lord created everything by truth and FOR truth, so what does that say??? It mentions to us that Turkey wasn't,,,IT WAS NOT created BY Truth, and it was not created FOR Truth, which brings to declare the coming of the King lorious king who evicts truth, and by standards he shall Truthfully evict all fake and falsified nations including Azerbaijan with Turkey break it up through it's own metaphoric irony, into little pieces which shall remain as the countrey men of ARMENIA foraige back*

[luv4knowledge]

shinecity711 are you on acid?

[ShineCity711]

NO good friends even more,,, tehy stole the promise of a Great Lebanon and Great Israel because they caused a rift of land to be taken away from the north where Syria is now,,they also killed Jews,Lebanese, Syrians, Chaldeans, some Lazestani and Hamshenis who are a close relative to Armenians, only thier cultur is varied,,they also killed some Mediteranean "Northern" Arabs, Bulgarians...mentioning Bulgaria, they genocided bulgaria in 1941-1950's they depopulated them to almost half! 1840-1976!

[Elinitsam]

I proudly support the ANCA! These speakers tell exactly the situation as it is here in America. There really is a gag rule which Turkey is likely responsible for! Michalis Charalambidis, member of the executive Committee of the International League for the Rights and Liberations of People, renowned Hellenic politician and intellectual, was denied entry into the USA at the airport in Chicago on the Tuesday before the Catastrophe in Asia Minor and Pontus conference, held in Chicago on May 9-10.

[Gagikangelo]

turkey is Guilty of the Genocide of the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians in 1915-1923!

3 million life is perished during this period in turkey!

Denying these Genocides is another punishable Crime against Humanity!

[Golden750]

Turkey is responsible for 3 genocides !

Armenian genocide

Assyrian genocide

Pontian Greek genocide
