Assyrian genocide

Pontian Greek genocide

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

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

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.

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.

Excellent campaign, excellent coverage, wonderful.

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!!!!
