I think it is unwise of Turkey not to just open the whole thing up and acknowledge it as the important human rights issue it is. Still worse. Mr. President. is the effort by the opponents of this Armenian genocide resolution to deny the very occurrence of that genocide. Generations of respected historians and other scholars have investigated the allegations of genocide by Ottoman officials and have determined them to be factually accurate. The Armenian genocide did occur. resulting in the death of 1.5 million human beings and the forced deportation of another 500.000 souls from the Armenian provinces of Turkey. Only 100.000 Armenians remained in those areas when the hideous Ottoman project was complete. But the violence really has not ended.
