That happened today: http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=81551
I thought Jews were against the use of the term "genocide" as this would gradually diminish the impact of Jewish genocide. But it seems that this is not the case. Not anymore. I am not quite sure I understand, however, the reasons behind this sudden change in diplomatic terms. Thats why I wanted to post this here.
Perhaps Turkish people have followed the story more closely than I do.
On the other hand, Abraham Foxman, the director of the most powerful Jewish lobby said today (despite their negative stance):
"We continue to firmly believe that a congressional resolution on such matters is a counterproductive diversion and will not foster reconciliation between Turks and Armenians and may put at risk the Turkish Jewish community and the important multilateral relationship between Turkey, Israel and the United States,"
Fine. But then why this sudden change in their position?
