Give her some credit at least she was honest about it. Also at the end she said it so many times that we are not denying it, it's just that we can't use the G word.

But she was still parotting the the denialist line of "let's have scholars look at the issue" - phooey!

But she was still parotting the the denialist line of "let's have scholars look at the issue" - phooey!

Appently, she is admitting that she is not a "scholar" of "academic" standing.

If she only knew what those "academicians", the likes of Lush Bimbaugh and Don Mimos and Newt Gingrich of the fame of "Ataturk is my idol", racists of the kind of Mehmet are saying about her ilk.

 

Read my next post about Imus the Mimus.

Co-Chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues Reps. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Joseph Knollenberg (R-MI), for sending a letter today, urging President George W. Bush to reaffirm the United States’ record on the Armenian Genocide in his upcoming April 24th commemorative statement, the Armenian Assembly of America reports. Last year in his annual commemorative speech, the President noted that it was a "tragedy for all humanity and one that we and the world must never forget," but he has repeatedly failed to use the word genocide when referencing the tragic killings of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1923 by the Ottoman Turks. In their letter, the Co-Chairs encouraged the President to recognize the atrocities committed against the Armenian people as genocide stating in part: "The United States must never allow crimes against humanity to pass without remembrance and condemnation." In addition the letter emphasizes the importance of the U.S. commitment to prevent future occurrences of genocide, reiterating that "it is imperative that we pay tribute to the memory of others who have suffered and to never forget the past." This year, Armenians across the world will commemorate the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. On Capitol Hill, Pallone and Knollenberg, in conjunction with the Armenian Embassy and Armenian-American organizations, will be spearheading an April 24th event.

Turkey makes its Jewish community to stand against H. Res. 106?

21.04.2007 14:07 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian

 

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Several Jewish groups are relaying to Congress a letter from the Turkish Jewish community advocating against the Armenian GenocideResolution (H. Res. 106). “Turks want Jewish groups to advocate against the resolution, but only one group, the Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs, has done so,” an online news portal called The Global News Service of the Jewish People (JTA) reported earlier this week. It notes other Jewish groups, mindful of the history of Holocaust revisionism, do not want to deny Armenians the opportunity to commemorate their own genocide, which Israeli researchers have said was a precursor to the Holocaust. American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League and B’nai B’rith International will relay the Turkish Jewish letter to Congress later this week, but will not necessarily endorse it,” JTA reported.

What does it mean when you transfer a proclamation from denying Turkey, albeit from a minority group in Turkey? You may wash your hand here, ADL, but such an action automatically removes the neutrality.

JOHN EVANS CALLED ON CONGRESS TO PASS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION

 

*

 

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) reaffirmed his "hold" on the controversial nomination of Richard Hoagland to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Armenia in his remarks today at an Armenian Genocide observance organized by the Congressional Armenian Caucus in Capitol Hill’s historic Cannon Caucus Room, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)

 

The Bush Administration has twice nominated Richard Hoagland to replace John Marshall Evans, a decorated career diplomat who was fired last year by the Secretary of State for speaking truthfully about the Armenian Genocide.

 

From the outset, the Hoagland nomination has been the focus of intense controversy, first because of the State Department’s willingness to explain its firing of Evans, and later due to his denial of the Armenian Genocide in his responses to questions raised during his confirmation hearing.

 

These remarks, which extended far beyond the euphemistic word games traditionally employed by the State Department, sparked outrage among Armenian Americans and widespread Congressional opposition to his posting in Yerevan.

 

Looking to Ambassador Evans, who was seated in the first row of the standing room only hall, Senator Menendez said, "I wish the Ambassador was back in Armenia, but if we cannot get him there, I refuse to release my hold on Ambassador Hoagland because of his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

 

The Senator added, to a sustained ovation, that, "the President [should] appoint a new nominee who will represent the interests of the United States and Armenia much better."

 

In his remarks, Ambassador John Evans, the program’s keynote speaker, called upon Congress to pass the Armenian Genocide Resolution. In a speech repeatedly interrupted by applause, he said, "If we dare not call the 1915 events genocide, we make it more likely that current genocides, such as that in Darfur, will continue and future genocides will occur...

 

This is why, ladies and gentlemen, after 92 years, the time has come to call a spade a spade. House Resolution 106 on the affirmation of the United States record on the Armenian Genocide should be adopted by the Congress." The former envoy continued, stressing: "History does matter. Truth does matter. Justice does matter."

ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE NOT A LOST CAUSE IN US CONGRESS

 

*

 

The speech of the US President on April 24, or the Human Rights Report of the US State Department were not unexpected, announced historian Richard Hovhannisian, being the guest of 'Hayeli' club. From his point of view, everything is told in the speech of US president besides the word 'genocide', but it will happen some time or other. The recognition of the Genocide is more probable today than 20 years ago. Moreover, the adoption of the resolution about the Armenian Genocide is not a dead cause in the US Congress, the historian said. He was not familiar to the speech of the State Department of Human Rights, but in any cases, he thinks that the USA-Turkey relations are more preferable and the resources of Baku are more important. Though the partnership with Turkey is very important for USA, they must be confident that the adoption of the Genocide, and the word 'genocide' in the message of US president will not affect the relations between US and Turkey, and 'finally Turkey will fall on its knees and ask for a partnership with USA.'

 

The historian compared the virtuous leaders of the first Republic of Armenia with the opposite picture of nowadays' social stratification. He found improvident the westward policy of the first Republic of Armenia in comparison with the policy of today's Republic of Armenia. To the question about the elections of Armenia he answered: 'In that reality there is only one person who carries my name. I told many times that he would hardly have a success in Armenia. It is my anxiety, and at the same time, my pride that he decided to stay in Armenia, with his people, instead of his prospective life abroad. Anyway, I hope he will have a success'. He was speaking about his son Raffi Hovhannisian, the leader of the party 'Jarangutyun'.

GEPHARDT REVERSES PRIOR SUPPORT FOR GENOCIDE RECOGNITION TO SERVE AS FOREIGN AGENT FOR TURKEY

 

Pallone, Schiff, and Eshoo Alert their House Colleagues of Gephardt's Past Support for Armenian Genocide Resolution

WASHINGTON, DC - Former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, who recently closed a major deal to serve as a foreign agent for the Turkish government, has already begun lobbying on behalf of his new client against the very same Armenian Genocide Resolution that he once vigorously supported while a Member of Congress, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

 

Gephardt's sharp departure from his principled stand for Armenian Genocide recognition was highlighted this week in a Dear Colleague letter circulated to all Members of Congress by Representatives Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the Co-Chairman of the Armenian Caucus, Adam Schiff (D-CA), the lead sponsor of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, and Anna Eshoo (D-CA), the only Armenian American serving in the U.S. Congress. In their letter, they wrote: "Former Majority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) is now employed by the Turkish government to dissuade Members of Congress from supporting H.Res.106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. But in 2000, as a Member of Congress, he wrote to Speaker Hastert urging immediate floor consideration of the Armenian Genocide Resolution, claiming ‘this issue requires little if any additional deliberation by the House.’"

 

"Armenian Americans appreciate Representatives Eshoo, Schiff and Pallone alerting their colleagues that the same Dick Gephardt who is now on the Turkish government's payroll was - during his long tenure as an elected official - a principled supporter of the Armenian Genocide Resolution," said Aram Hamparian, ANCA Executive Director. "We are all saddened by the spectacle of Dick Gephardt - for the price of a lobbying contract - publicly compromising his own integrity and, even worse, seeking to prevent a broad, bipartisan Congressional majority from voting on this long overdue human rights legislation in order to appease Turkish threats."

 

As noted in the Dear Colleague letter, in September of 2000, Gephardt had joined with Sam Gejdensen, the Ranking Democrat on the International Relations Committee, and Frank Pallone in urging the Speaker at the time, Dennis Hastert (R-IL), to schedule an "immediate" vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The three legislators stressed that, "Armenian Americans communities throughout the nation have waited long enough for Congress to recognize the horrible genocide endured by many of their predecessors."

 

As a member of the House, Gephardt cosponsored legislation recognizing the Armenian Genocide, as recently as H.Res.193 in 2003, and dating all the way back to H.J.Res.192, more than 20 years ago, during the 99th Congress. In 1998, he offered remarks at the ANCA Armenian Genocide Observance on Capitol Hill.

This is a good amplification of American culture which is mainly is based on dollar.

And mark my words, 10 years from today those who are on the frontlines of AG bill in congress will turn exactly like the dick the gephard.

 

Happened in Rome a very long time ago, western civilization was basically spearheaded to prostitution after the infamous murder of the real Caesar of Rome, Gaius Julius Caesar.

 

guess who is the Caligula of modern times

this is what has become of USA, one big frenzy of orgy

Tom Udall became 193rd congressman who is in favor of recognizing Armenian Genocide

18.05.2007 18:19 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian

 

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ United States Representative Tom Udall became the 193rd congressman to cosponsor H. Res.106, which recognizes the Armenian Genocide of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire. The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports that Tom Udall represents northern New Mexico and is currently serving his fifth term in the U.S. House where he is a member of the influential Appropriations Committee. “We are pleased that Congressman Udall has joined the growing community of leaders who realize that it is time for the United States to speak with moral clarity about the Armenian Genocide. For too long the United States has been held hostage by a Turkish government and its proxies bent on covering up this dark chapter of its history. Congressman Udall’s cosponsorship reaffirms that there is no profit margin that justifies remaining silent in the face of genocide,” ANCA stated.
