U.S. President Joe Biden has frayed relations between Ankara and Washington “beyond repair” with his recent statement using the word “genocide” to describe the 1915 Armenian genocide by Turkey, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency argued Tuesday.
The Ottoman Empire enacted what is widely considered the first genocide of the modern world against Armenian, Assyrian Christian, and Greek populations in what is now Turkey. The Turkish government adamantly denies this occurred, claiming all those killed died in a war featuring violence on both sides, a claim not corroborated by historical

Luvin’ me some “unity”. 🤡
Good luck getting US warships into the Black Sea to “confront” Putin.
Why is that an issue, really?
I mean gee, not like BidenIdiot would not turn them around anyhow, right? /s
Perhaps he’ll admit the plan for WWIII tonight.
The genocide happened, that’s historical fact.
However, we have a lots of problems. Why stir these emotions right now? Nobody forced him to do that.
He is not going to resurrect the death!
Val Jar making M.E. foreign policy again.
I didn’t know Greeks were lumped in with this; Greece attacked Turkey in 1919 to take territory from the defeated Ottomans, and after a few years the Turks beat them back. Anything done after the 1919 attack, while it may have been reprehensible, should be viewed in that context.
Not that I don’t despise Biden, but do we really care if relations with an Islamo-Fascist regime ‘fray?’
I think we need to be keeping our distance from Turkey, anyway. Overall, this is a good thing that Biden did (broken clock is right twice a day!).
Yes because Bidet was going to restore our “credibility around the world.”
😂😂😂
That’s where I’m at too.
IS this a good thing or a bad thing?
Low expectations blinded me to that promise.
I think President Trump was the most respected and feared American leader since Reagan. The idea that Biden would restore our ‘credibility’ was so ludicrous that I entirely forgot it.
Biden himself is more of a figurehead than any constitutional monarch.
Well,then he did ONE thing right.
Erdogan is a fascist and the Turks are savages
Your comment is pure B.S.
This charge of genocide was voted, in resolution form, by both houses of the U.S. Congress in 2019, with large bipartisan support.
The same charge has been held up to Turkey by the EU nations, for years now. They have made Turkey’s recognition of the genocide as a prerequisite of any additional improvement in EU-Turkey ties.
I cannot stand Biden.
But this action I do support.
“Good terms” with Islamist Erdogan is not worth avoiding his anger over this.
