Lawyer Sends Message To Barack Obama

Dr. Gregory Stanton is a president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), a global, interdisciplinary, non-partisan organization that seeks to further research and teach about the nature, causes, and consequences of genocide, and advance policy studies on prevention of genocide.

While discussing the history and the House Resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide, Stanton said that the United States, once again, surrendered to the 90-year campaign of denial by the government of Turkey.

Stanton added that the State Department and the White House have continued the cowardly policies of every Secretary of State since Lansing, who have considered it more important to placate the Turkish government, than to be truthful about history.

Denial is actually the continuation of genocide, and according to Stanton, Turkey has three favorite methods to continue genocide denial, and they are:

1) Blame the victims by claiming the killings were in self-defense against people who were disloyal to the Ottoman Empire; 2) Claim that Muslim Turks suffered many deaths and 3) Claim that the deaths were inadvertent due to lack of food and water, not due to intentional destruction.

Stanton explained that these claims are proven false and problematic by the eyewitnesses and by American counselor officers, missionaries and most tellingly perhaps, in the archives of the old allies — Germany, Austria and Hungary.

This was not simply a by-product of deportation, this was mass murder intended by starvation.
