It was might have been genocide but Turkey and the world has come a long way in 102 years, not the least of which is Turkey is a necessary and very valuable ally in NATO and the UN.

Turks fought valiantly in Korea on our side (the Chinese and NK were scared of them) and we ran intelligence missions from Turkey throughout the cold war. Turkey sitting on the Black Sea and controlling the straights kept the Soviet Union from using it as a private Mediterranean military pond.

They are rabidly anti communist and their military has had close ties with ours for decades. The resolution was s stupid, deliberate move on the part of a selfish democrat congress done completely to ruin our efforts on the war on terror.

So has Germany, but that doesn't mean we should stop remembering the Holocaust. For consistency sake - and humanity's sake - remembering the Armenian genocide is another way of saying, "never again."
