DominO123 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Ok then never mind. style_images/master/snapback.png B'nai B'rith have among them, very pro-Armenian Rabbis, one of them, had collected papers of Raphael Lemkin which concerns the Armenians. The Armenian lobby could very well meet those people too, if they don't do that, they have no reason to then yap and cry.

Dave Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) The attitude of Jewish lobbies on the Armenian genocide might be bad, but the Armenian attitude on the Assyrian genocide isn't any different. We hardly even mention them in our websites... There are even some Armenians who don't know that Assyrians were killed alongside Armenians. The only difference on the two lobbies' attitudes is that the Jewish lobbies have assisted Turkey in its' denial of the genocide, and the Armenian lobbies don't deny the Assyrian genocide.

I made a post some time back expressing that fact as a concern. Assyrians and Pontian Greeks need to always be mentioned by the Armenians.
