U.S. Congress Insults Feelings of Turkey

A resolution approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last week, in recognizing the Armenian Genocide, asks the Obama administration to endorse history, with the risk of insulting their ally. With Turkey's importance to the U.S. , that will be hard to do, and the U.S. may lose Turkey as an ally.  

 “The passing of House Resolution 252 introduces a new dynamic into the State Department’s hopes for “normalization” of relations between Armenia and Turkey. The Armenian Genocide is marked as beginning April 24, 1915. On the 94th anniversary last year, President Obama decried the “great atrocities” – but defied his own campaign promise by following the precedent of other modern presidents and stopping short of using the word “genocide.” said John Hughes.

In my opinion, I think no matter what the U.S. should recognize the genocide.  The U.S. has other allies around the world and since this resolution was passed, there must be hope somewhere in these people's hearts to recognize the genocide and that it is not a lie.
