This April 24th marks the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
A bill now before Congress would classify the murder of a million and a half Armenians in 1915 as a genocide. Although the bill is backed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Bush administration is continuing its usual cynical behavior. Acoording to a story in the New York Times on March 29, 2007, Condoleeza Rice and Robert Gates have joined the ranks of genocide deniers. Their rationale: the Turks cut military contracts with the French after the French Assembly voted to make denial of genocide a crime.
What's next, Bushies, denying the historical fact that slavery ever took place in the U.S?
Write to your elected representatives in Washington today and send a loud and clear message: Stop the denial and recognize the Armenian genocide.
