ANKARA: Armenian Group In US Launches Fresh Salvo For ‘genocide’ Res

ARMENIAN GROUP IN US LAUNCHES FRESH SALVO FOR ‘GENOCIDE’ RESOLUTION

A number of US congressmen supporting a resolution upholding
Armenian allegations of so called ‘genocide’ in 1915 increased to
225, well above the half of total members in the 435-seat House of
Representatives required for its passage, according to a nationalist
Armenian diaspora group in the United States.

The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) urged the Armenian
community on its Web site to take action and increase pressure on
their representatives in Congress to support the resolution, which
says Armenians were subject to genocide in eastern Anatolia during
World War I.

ANCA also says 31 senators in the 100-member Senate support a separate
resolution to the same effect.

In remarks published in the newspaper The Jewish Advocate, Turkish
Ambassador to the United States Nabi ªensoy called on American
Jewish groups to oppose what he called an "act of grave injustice"
against Turkey.

ªensoy said a recent decision by an influential US Jewish group,
the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), to endorse the Armenian claims
surprised and disappointed the Turks.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
