SYSTEM OF A DOWN TALKS D.C. ARMENIAN TRIP

System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian and drummer John Dolmayan made their way down to Washington D.C. to try to push the next step through in their effort to recognize the Armenian Genocide. The duo embarked on a three day trip in hopes of swaying Speaker Of The House Dennis Hastert to allow a vote on the U.S. officially recognizing the atrocities committed against Tankian's ancestors as genocide.

@durdukyeretahrik Of course you can ask me anything as long as it is a sincere question. My grandparents grew up in orphanages on both sides of my family. My mothers father is originally from Adana historic Armenia, modern day turkey. They were secretely protected by friendly arabs in syria.

@Vicious90x may I ask how your grandparents survived the events?

[Vicious90x]

@durdukyeretahrik Yes smart and honest historians accept this view but i dont need them to tell me what i already know, it was 100% fact my great granparents all dissapeared in to the desert we have no clue of them. I believe in peace between both nations but not once did those coward apologize for killing my great grandparents because it would hurt the turkish name.

@TheDonerKebap Genocide was done that is proven fact my family on both sides are survivors. And yes the Ottomans are the ones guilty. But the republic of Turkey is the Successor state and they still follow the rules and regulations for denial of this genocide in order to protect the turkish name. They never once said sorry for what happened to innocent people. People think this is all fun and games and hollywood but this is real life, people suffered, they killed our babies.

hey listen everybody genocide was done by turkey and this is fact

[TheDonerKebap]

If genocide was done, that was Ottoman's genocide, not Turkish... it's like punish the Italians and not Romans for their legendary cruelty...

@durdukyeretahrik My bad, I was out of characters. What I meant was: Whenever the US comes close to accepting the Armenian genocide, turkey threatens to take away all their political support in the middle east and cancel trade between the countries. I doubt they'd do the second one, but lately we have had some terrible presidents.

As for McCarthy, maybe he could do some reasearch at a place that ISN'T turkish biased? That's why many colleagues consider him a fool.

@crowley0312 you say all the "smart" and "honest" historians accept the genocide. i always wonder who these known historians are and how many of them have personally researched the events. only few international historians actually do research about the ottoman empire, even if you read western literature about WW I ottomans are barely mentioned (even in german literature). i personally think that the vast majority of those historians actually knows shit about what happened.
