phantom22 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I would place Harut at the same level as President John F. Kennedy on my list of heros. I wish he would take up Armenian Citizenry and tun as President of Armenia! TURKS SHOCKED AS CLOSE TO MAJORITY IN CONGRESS COSPONSORS GENOCIDE BILL The news last week, that the number of cosponsors of the congressional Armenian Genocide resolution reached 200, sent shudders throughout the Turkish world. The Turkish government and its compliant mass media would probably get even more hysterical in the coming days as the number of House members supporting the resolution will reach for the first time the magical number of 218 -- the majority of the House of Representatives. In an article titled, "Risk rising for genocide bill’s passage in U.S. Congress," published in the June 22 issue of the Turkish Daily News, journalist Umit Enginsoy wrote: "The chances" of the approval of the Armenian Genocide resolution "are rising dangerously after pro-Armenian groups secured the backing of 200 lawmakers in the 435-member chamber of Congress. This is a record figure ever obtained by the Armenians and is rapidly approaching 218…. Turkish efforts to prevent the bill’s passage first in the [Foreign Affairs] committee and then on the House floor have so far been successful but the number of the measure’s backers is increasing in a threatening way and it may only be a matter of weeks before the Armenians manage to obtain the majority figure of 218, analysts said." Enginsoy then proceeded to present an accurate estimation of the prospects for the approval of the resolution as follows: "The figure of 218 lawmakers supporting the genocide measure’s passage will mean a psychological threshold. If or when the Armenians reach that number, [speaker] Pelosi herself will likely be compelled to obey the will of the majority and bring the resolution to a floor vote, analysts said…. At this pace, the resolution may reach the House floor agenda any time after early September, when Congress returns to work after summer recess…. Turkish officials and their lobbyists are now working to prevent other lawmakers from backing the genocide bill and urging some House members to withdraw their signatures from the list of supporters. But so far such efforts could not stop the Armenians reaching the 200 figure." Enginsoy’s article would have been even more alarming had he known that on the day his report was published, nine additional Congressmen would cosponsor the resolution, bringing the total number of its supporters to 209 -- just nine short of the required 218. Of course, "the analysts" that Enginsoy consulted had grossly misjudged the rapid increase of the bill’s backers, when he reported that it would take several weeks for the number of cosponsors to reach 218. It now appears that the magic threshold would be reached within a matter of days, not weeks! In sharp contrast to Erginsoy’s straightforward reporting, prominent Turkish commentator Mehmet Ali Birand tried to deceive his readers rather than urging them face up to the truth of the Armenian Genocide. In an article titled, "Armenians work, we sleep," published in the June 21 issue of the Turkish Daily News, Birand blamed Turkish officials for doing nothing to block the congressional resolution. He wrote: "I have repeated this theme for years. I have even used harsher words to make it more effective. But not a word. Nobody cares. We are in such ignorance that we knowingly lie to ourselves. I refer to the sleepwalking state of Turkey in the face of the activities of the Armenian lobby…. Turkey is in a haze. There is neither any activity nor a change of policy except for persuasion talks with the House members. As Turkey continues to sleepwalk, Armenians make it more decisive. Turkey's reputation is being besmirched. We can continue settling for trying to convince. Once it is too late, we should not knock on the White House door in vain. We should not try to shut down the Incirlik Air Base and cut off relations. We should quit threatening Washington, as it will do no good. We should get ready for what is to come in September." In an attempt to look at the future, Birand observed: "What will happen if [the resolution] does become a law? The decision by the U.S. House of Representatives will serve as a precedent. It will encourage the parliaments of other countries. The number of parliaments accepting genocide claims will increase. Then it will be time to pressure the governments. And we can keep on sleeping." Birand is flat wrong in accusing Turkish leaders of sleepwalking. On the contrary, Ankara officials have done everything in their power to block the Armenian Genocide bill -- paying millions of dollars to hire powerful American lobbying firms; dispatching delegations of parliamentarians and high-ranking political and military leaders to Washington; and threatening to undermine the American war effort in Iraq by blocking access to military bases in Turkey and canceling multi-billion dollar arms purchases from the United States. A more honest analyst would have urged Turkish leaders to refrain from lying and acknowledge the fact of the Armenian Genocide. By taking such a step, Turkey would save itself much embarrassment, avoid wasting millions of dollars on lobbying and acquire political mileage and respectability in the international community.

MosJan Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Turkish Daily News on Armenian Genocide bill: Troubles threaten Turkey 09.07.2007 14:24 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Cuneyd Zapsu, a top adviser to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, stated that a secret meeting was held with Democratic Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi this February on H. Res. 106 – the Armenian Genocide bill. Richard Holbrooke, a Democrat and a former top diplomat, arranged and attended the meeting. Holbrooke is known for his role in putting an end to the war in Bosnia as assistant to the Secretary of State in former president Bill Clinton’s administration, Turkish Daily News reports. Zapsu voiced the Turkish government’s concerns over the resolution, saying its passage by the House would seriously hurt bilateral ties with Ankara. The Pelosi-Zapsu meeting took place shortly after Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul also visited the U.S. capital in early February. But neither Gul nor three Turkish parliamentary teams visiting Washington one after another succeeded in their “struggle” against the bill and had talks with the House speaker. At the same time the newspaper reminds that a number of worrying developments are taking place in recent weeks for Turkey, since the number of representatives cosponsoring the measure in late June rose to 218 in the 435-member House. “Obtaining the support of 218 lawmakers does not automatically enable the Armenians to force a House floor vote for the resolution, but means the overcoming of a psychological threshold. The resolution likely would reach the House floor agenda any time after early September, when Congress returns to work after a summer recess in August. But still this would come after critical parliamentary elections in Turkey on July 22,” the newspaper underlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 ASSEMBLY HAILS RECORD SUPPORT FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION * article's photo more images Legislation Clears Milestone with 218 House Cosponsors Washington, DC – The Armenian Assembly announced today that the Armenian Genocide resolution (H. Res.106) achieved a major milestone by garnering the support of a bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives. With the addition of Representatives Donna Christensen (D-VI) and John Yarmuth (D-KY), H. Res. 106 now has 218 cosponsors. Along with the resolution’s sponsor, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), the bill has a total of 219 supporters (this number takes into account two Members of Congress that are still technically listed as cosponsors, one of whom has since passed away and another who resigned from Congress.) “With the threshold of 218 cosponsors having been reached, it is clear that a majority of the House supports recognition of the historical fact of the Genocide,” Schiff told the Assembly. “Affirmation and re-affirmation of the Armenian Genocide remains a compelling human rights issue, and I hope that our majority support will prompt early passage of the resolution.” “Only by remembering and learning from the past, can we hope to prevent future atrocities,” Schiff continued. H. Res. 106, which was introduced in late January, calls upon the President to “ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding” of the “Armenian Genocide” and to “accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1,500,000 Armenians as genocide,” in the President’s annual message. Passage of the legislation would reaffirm the U.S. historical record which includes thousands of pages documenting the premeditated extermination of the Armenian people. American intervention prevented the full realization of Ottoman Turkey’s genocidal plan, while the first major U.S. humanitarian assistance effort provided much needed relief to those who survived. “The Armenian Genocide resolution has reached a record level of bipartisan support, proving that despite the intense lobbying efforts by those who seek to deny the truth, the momentum continues to grow for reaffirmation of the historical truth,” said Board of Trustees Chairman Hirair Hovnanian. “We are pleased by this record level of support which once again proves that there are sufficient votes in the House to pass this resolution,” said Reps. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues. “We will continue to work with the members of the Armenian Caucus, the cosponsors, and with the leadership of both parties to secure a concluding, affirming vote on this legislative measure. U.S. clarity on this fact of world history is of critical importance and long past due.” “We are getting exceedingly closer to our goal of passing the Armenian Genocide resolution and properly recognizing this historic tragedy,” said Congressman George Radanovich (R-CA). “This recognition is especially poignant given the tragedies occurring today in Darfur.” Executive Director Bryan Ardouny praised Assembly supporters and activists, as well as the entire Armenian-American community for reaching out to their elected officials. “Having crossed this important threshold, we will continue our advocacy efforts to secure a vote and successful passage of this critical human rights legislation. We are encouraged by the groundswell of support – both inside and outside of Congress.” “In addition to the strong bipartisan support of the Members of Congress and grassroots activism, there are also some 50 diverse organizations and human rights groups that also support H.Res.106,” Ardouny continued [see complete list below]. Ardouny also encouraged activists to continue their advocacy efforts, explaining that “the greater the number of cosponsors, the greater our chances the legislation will be brought to the House floor.” H. Res. 106 is currently pending before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, of which Tom Lantos (D-CA) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) serve as the Chair and Ranking Member. Both Lantos and Ros-Lehtinen voted in favor of an identical resolution (H. Res. 316) before the Committee last Congress. The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness of Armenian issues. It is a 501 © (3) tax-exempt membership organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aratta-Kingdom Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 REP. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND COSPONSORS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION armradio.am 13.07.2007 11:38 The Armenian National Committee of Albany welcomed the addition of Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY-20) as the latest cosponsor of H. Res. 106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The number of cosponsors for this key human rights legislation has now grown to 220. "We are very grateful for the Congresswoman's support of H. Res. 106. Having an opportunity to meet with Darius Shahinfar, Regional Representative for Rep. Gillibrand in Sarasota Springs a few weeks prior, we look forward to continuing to work with both the district office and the Washington office to build a growing relationship with the Congresswoman," commented Antranig Karageozian, Chairman of the ANC of Albany. Gillibrand joins nineteen other New York Representatives, as well as over two-dozen of her freshman colleagues that have signed on to the legislation. Sworn into office this past January, Gillibrand represents the 20th District of New York State, which stretches across Saratoga, Dutchess, Columbia, Rensselaer, Washington, Warren, Delaware, Greene, Essex and Otsego counties. She currently serves on the Armed Services Committee as well as the Agriculture Committee "I am pleased to add my name to the list of cosponsors of the Armenian Genocide bill, H. Res. 106," said Rep.

Hellektor Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) H. Res. 106, which was introduced on January 30, 2007 by Adam Schiff, reaffirms the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and calls upon the U.S. President to accurately characterize the systematic and deliberate annihilation of 1 500 000 Armenians as ‘genocide’ in the President’s April 24 annual message. You see how these bastards are playing with us for this unimportant, non-binding resolution where the US president will use the word "genocide" on his/her April 24 message... This is both a lever for these J*ws to pressure Turkey whenever they need it and keep us hoping that this unimportant bill will pass someday in order for us to have the "right" to ask for compensation afterwards. The problem is, because Armenia was not an independent state for decades after the Armenian Genocide, all Armenians could do was to demand recognition for the AG. Now, after 16 years of independence, the government of the Republic of Armenia has the moral and legal duty to raise the Woodrow Wilson's arbitration issue, regardless the US or Turkey recognize the AG or not. This is independent of recognition and must be introduced as soon as possible. Don't forget that the US (not the jUS) does not recognize Turkey* because the Turks refuse to abide by their obligation to return the parts of Armenia according to their signed agreement in 1920 at Sèvres. I believe, and I hope I'm wrong, as long as J*ws own and run the United Slaves of Israel, the bill will never pass. Hilary Clinton also reassured the Turks that it won't pass so let's not be fooled by this game of giving eternal hope in order to keep us from demanding our legal, territorial rights. While the following is only from the Democratic Party Platform, it reflects the attitude of the good old pre-Israel/pre jUN USA: *From Democratic Party Platform of 1924 Lausanne Treaty We condemn the Lausanne treaty. It barters legitimate American rights and betrays Armenia, for the Chester oil concessions. We favor the protection of American rights in Turkey and the fulfillment of President Wilson's arbitral award respecting Armenia.

Aratta-Kingdom Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 AsbarezOnline Pro-Turkish Lobby Takes Center Stage and Support for Genocide Resolution Grows WASHINGTON--Lobbyists being paid millions of dollars by the Turkish government have taken center stage recently, as support for the Armenian Genocide Resolution pending in Congress, grows. Their efforts to distort the truth have not gone unnoticed either. A recent article in the influential publication The New Republic by Michael Crowley examined the growing pressure the lobbyists are under to preach the “gospel according to Turkey. The article, entitled “K Street Cashes in on the 1915 Armenian Genocide,” took aim at one time House Majority Leader and previous Genocide resolution sponsor Richard Gephardt, whose lobbying firm DLA Piper receives $100,000 from the Republic of Turkey to discredit efforts to pass the current resolution in Congress. “A rising St. Louis politician in the mid-1970s, Richard Gephardt was among a dynamic group of aldermen dubbed "The Young Turks." So perhaps it's not surprising that, 30 years later, the former Democratic minority leader of the House of Representatives has aged into an Old Turk. This spring, Gephardt has been busy promoting his new favorite cause--not universal health care or Iraq, but the Republic of Turkey, which now pays his lobbying firm, DLA Piper, $100,000 per month for his services. Thus far, Gephardt's achievements have included arranging high-level meetings for Turkish dignitaries, among them one between members of the Turkish parliament and House Democratic leaders James Clyburn and Rahm Emanuel; helping Turkey's U.S. ambassador win an audience with a skeptical Nancy Pelosi; and, finally, circulating a slim paperback volume, titled "An Appeal to Reason," that denies the existence of the Armenian genocide of 1915,” thus began Crowley's piece in The New Republic. “It's one thing to flip-flop on, say, tax cuts or asbestos reform. But, when it comes to genocide, you would hope for high principle to carry the day. In Washington, however, the Armenian genocide industry is in full bloom. And Dick Gephardt's shilling isn't even the half of it,” continued the article, adding that “Even in modern Washington, where it's taken for granted that everyone has their price, flip-flopping on genocide has the ability to shock.” Crowley pointed to Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), the only House member with Armenian ancestry, who is dismayed by Gephardt's reversal. “Eshoo says she was recently in an airport with former Connecticut Representative Sam Gejdenson, one of the three co-signers on Gephardt's 2000 pro-resolution letter to Hastert, when the pair spotted Gephardt. %u218Look who's here!' Eshoo mockingly exclaimed. %u218Hey Dick, the Kurds are looking for you!' Gejdenson sardonically chimed in--referring to another foe of Gephardt's Turkish client. Eshoo says it was just teasing among old friends. But, she pointedly adds of the former House Democratic leader: %u218Clearly this is not a principle of his. This is business,'” concluded the article. Similarly, former Congressman Bob Livingston this week took center stage on The Hill, the Capitol Hill online broadcasting network, painstakingly making the case against the passage of the resolution. Livingston is the highest paid former legislature by the Turkish government. “Our incredibly important democratic ally, The Republic of Turkey, is absolutely indispensable to US strategic and economic interests. Do we really want impose a definition of events occurring almost 100 years ago in terms that can only impair our relations with a nation of 70 million people, people who have supported all our strategic efforts for the last 60 years?” stated Livingston. “If we are to have any success in the Middle East in the years ahead, Turkey MUST be at our side,” proclaimed the former Congressman. The Armenian National Committee of America now has its own rebuttal on the website, where it point-by-point dissects Livingston's allegations and sets the record straight. On Monday, July 23, a second “Call In” day has been organized by the ANCA, which is urging the community to call Members of Congress and urge them to do what is right. Please see the action alert section of our website for more on the National Call In Day and click on http://www.chbn.com/Clip.aspx?key=DAA8AC59EFDBF2EE to hear the rebuttal by the ANCA.

MosJan Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Turkish lobbying groups in USA again failed in their anti-genocide campaign 19.07.2007 14:00 GMT+04:00 Print version Send to mail In Russian In Armenian /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On July 18 Turkey’s multi-million dollar lobbyist Bob Livingston posted an eight-minute diatribe on the Capitol Hill Broadcasting Network website, which denies the Armenian Genocide. This video is an effort to block congressional adoption of the H.Res.106 / S.Res.106, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) reports. Less than twelve hours after Bob Livingston’s genocide denial video was posted, the ANCA issued a point by point video rebuttal, which was distributed widely to congressional offices and policy makers throughout Washington, DC. Also in response to the Livingston attack, Armenian Genocide Resolution lead advocates, Representatives Adam Schiff, George Radanovich, Frank Pallone and Joe Knollenberg cosigned a July 18th letter to congressional colleagues discrediting Livingston’s denialist claims. The letter reads as follows, “For the past seven years Mr. Livingston has been a paid lobbyist for Turkey, which has spent millions of dollars denying what the world knows to be true – that in the first decades of the last century a horrible genocide was committed against the Armenian people. The factual evidence supporting the Armenian Genocide is vast, and no effort to deny these facts – no matter the source of the denial – will ever change history.” The letter went on to urge House members to join over 220 of their colleagues in cosponsoring H.Res.106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
