Talk about your inconvenient truths!!!
For once, our government has done the right thing. And all it took was 92 years of lobbying by a determined and wealthy interest group.

If it was a different country and a long time ago, then all the MORE reason to admit it, right?

Because there are always ever present useful idiots, degenerates, cretins and of course Republican-Neocons. Collectively all of them lost any touch with reality. They believe that wrong=right and that right=wrong. In their minds invading sovereign country, keep killing civilians and keep stealing natural resources of other countries is right. But recognizing Armenian genocide is wrong. Reading some of the answers here, I'm wondering if they were given and written by human beings.

First of all, There was not a Country called Turkey at that time. It was an ottoman empire which was last 700 years. Many people lived under the empire within good conditions. They were happy. When war began Armenians take a part with Russian and be their spies in Turkey. They were against to Turks and killed many Turks too.I think Russia promised them their own land after the war therefore they did it to Turks. And Turks first started to fight with their enemies inside in their country. Turks accept people killed in both part. Turks were also killed too. It was a war and Turks killed their "inside" enemies first rather than other countries in the war. It was a war and it is what it spouse to be.
Would you fight against the other enemies when you have some in your country? Of course not. it is like "cleaning your door first". Many people killed and killed. But it was not all Armenians. It was their mistake when being against to country where they have lived. They are treacherous people. They made a big mistake and not accepting results? What would you do to your treacherous enemies? Would you help them after the war to deliver them somewhere else to live? Ottomans lost the war and they had their problems to solve rather that helping Armenians to leave the country in safe condition. Many historians says there were diseases and that’s why many people in both sides died after the war.
There were also other political movements against the Ottoman Empire. I feel sorry for both people but it was A WAR not a normal day. I dont understand how people call it genocide. it was WAR where someone won and someone lost. Turks give their web links Armenian give theirs. Do you think they are impartial websites. We should listen the historian people. The net has all kind of information and you can believe anything you read but there is only one true. Turks are not stupid to accept something that their grandfathers didn’t do. As many people say The Armenians have Russia to stand behind them and Turkish people have us (United States). for now. It is bigger than you think when you search Russia and US history .It is not only Armenia or Turkey. Russia used Armenians against to Ottomans and now uses Armenians against to US? Dont be stupid, This Armenians played o big role on decadence of Ottoman Empire. Be aware people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a time and place for everything. This was not the time. That truth about the Armenian Genocide is already fact. Given the nature of our current position in the Middle East this is just another convenient way to blame the current administration for foreign affairs.

You have to be kidding. You know how long ago the matter took place. The only reason the left wing liberal loonies brought this up at this time is to try to turn victory in Iraq into defeat. Turkey is an ally and is needed to help supply the troops.
The Dems are engaging in treasonous behavior. Anyone who does not see it is a deluded fool.

I was not aware that Congress was doing anything useful lately, but if they are indeed telling the truth about this genocide, more power to them! The world has been wrong to ignore it and Islamic states have been wrong not to condemn it.

1. Been done twice.
2. All it does is alienate our allies. There is no reason to do this.
What does condemning this accomplish? Make you feel better? It is a complete waste of time.

Who cares. I don't. Won't Israel get ticked? Don't they have a lock on the word Genocide?
