President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Robert Gates have all been trying to convince Congress to not use the word "genocide" in their decision, in regards to the mass Armenian killings in the days of the Ottoman Empire, at the end of World War I, because it would show harsh judgment against one of our allies (Turkey). Turkey is insisting that the amount of Ottoman Turks killed matched the number of Armenians killed, so it shouldn't be ruled as genocide.
What do you say? If you did believe it was a genocide, would you rule in favor of it in your decision, or would you rule against it, in order to stay in good relations with Turkey?
