Call it what it is
EDITOR: If President Donald Trump was led to attacks in Syria by
what he saw on TV, how much more horrified would he be by seeing
pictures of what the Ottoman Empire implemented in two phases
against 1.5 million Christian Armenians in 1915-1923? "Trump: US,
allied strikes aimed at Syria's chemical weapons," April 14.
First, the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population
through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced
labor. Secondly, followed by the deportation of women, children,
the elderly, and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian
town of Deir ez-Zor and the surrounding desert. Driven forward by
military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water
and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre.
Consistency would require Trump to recognize the Armenian
massacres for what they were, Turkish-sponsored genocide! Every
year, U.S. presidents issue proclamations condemning the
massacres, but always avoid the word "genocide." President Ronald
Reagan was the only president to use the word.
Now is the time for the US government to join 48 U.S. states that
have done so already. Only Mississippi and Alabama have yet to do
so!
