Activists Protest McMahon Effort to Cash-In on Anti-Armenian Genocide Vote

On March 4th, Congressman Michael McMahon voted against a House resolution condemning Turkey's genocide of 1.5 million Armenians and has consistently remained silent on the genocides against the Pontian Greek and Assyrian communities. He has also failed to take meaningful action to end Turkey's 36-year illegal occupation of Cyprus, and repression of Christian minorities continuing to this day.

Just three weeks later Rep. McMahon was accepting honors - and campaign contributions - at Ali Baba restaurant from genocide deniers and supporters of Turkey's aggression against Cyprus.

Greek and Armenian American activists in State Island took action.

These corrupt "politicians" should be tarred and feathered out of Capital Hill.

By the way @ 1:15 it looks like McMahon was either getting a love pat on his rear end by his turkish masters or money was being slipped in his back pocket! ....LMAO..

@erdal0 the history of turks is violence, history of greece is one of intellect..something turks know NOTHING about

[gasper47]

@ellasAZ and Armenians will always support our Greek brothers and sisters 100%, god bless you

@ellasAZ did you hear about the greek colonist? They forced the anatolian people to speak their language and join their culture. Nuff said.

[ellasAZ]

@erdal0 I'll tell you who were the Anatolian people as you call them... Ionian Greeks, Pontian Greeks, Trojan Greeks, Hittites, Armenians, Assyrians, most of them with thousands of years of history, and more, don't you see the ancient Greek Temples? Those were not build by Alexander the Great, but they were there very many years before him. I am not trying to displease you in any way, but history can not be changed, I wish you well.

@ellasAZ the anatolian people were greekified, they werent greek, they were colonized and made greek. History of greece is violence.

[ellasAZ]

@erdal0 What are you talking about? Trojans WERE Greeks! and they had disputes between them. Most of the people living around the Mediterranean were of Greek origin, from the near Est, to the black sea, to Spain, France, North Africa, To Gibraltar, don't be surprised if your ancestors were of Greek origin, well... you never know!!

[erdal0]

@ellasAZ Greeks did the same to other people. We will never forget Troy. Greeks are suffering and will suffer and pay for what they did to the anatolian people. EU your only friend is butt fking greece. You worry about that gayreek.

[ellasAZ]

@erdal0 I am not worried about them... Greeks went through hell and survived terrible circumstances... wars, sickness, occupations by barbarian misanthropists, religious oppression, cataclysms, genocides... do you really think that a financial crisis will make Greeks go hungry? Think before you talk...

[erdal0]

@ellasAZ greeks die of their hunger

Everything on Cyprus was startet by EOKA your fake propaganda will not succeed!

There is a Polish village in Turkey called Polenezköy- Adampol since over 169 years.They have never betrayed us such like the Armenians and Pontians.Remember we were attacked by Pontian and Armenians in ww1!This breach of confidence hast forced the Ottomans to deport Pontian and Armenian civilians out of Turkey.For there own and our self-protection. There has never a genocide occurred on the entire Turkish history!
