Armenians who need help today
Fred Hiatt from the Washington Post suggested that if the Armenian Diaspora had worked as hard for democracy in Armenia as it did for congressional recognition of the genocide Armenians suffered nearly a century ago, modern Armenia would be as democratic as modern Turkey.
There are passionate arguments on both sides of this fight: the urgency of facing history honestly, on one hand; unease over attempting to resolve such matters by political declaration, on the other, he explained. “ But what is sad, when members of Congress are hailing the vote as a victory for human rights, is how poorly human rights fare in Armenia today. The heads of both US organizations told me that their groups have worked, sometimes quietly, to promote human rights and civil society in Armenia. Undoubtedly their influence would be limited, no matter how hard they tried.
