Each of us are going to reach his or her own conclusion as to whether or not it is appropriate that we commemorate the Armenian genocide. Our Ambassador to Turkey. Ambassador Morgenthau. back in 1915. telegrammed the Secretary of State: Deportation of and excesses against peaceful Armenians is increasing and from harrowing reports of eye witnesses it appears that a campaign of race extermination is in progress under a pretext of reprisal against rebellion. In his book. our Ambassador to Turkey said: When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations. they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race. they understood this well and in their conversations with me. they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact. Our Congress. our Presidents. Ambassadors. the European Parliament.
