ANKARA: Darfur Protest In Washington Elicits Armenian GenocideCompar

DARFUR PROTEST IN WASHINGTON ELICITS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE COMPARISON

Hurriyet, Turkey
May 2 2006

At a Washington, DC protest to gather support for stopping the violence
and killing in Darfur, Sudan, an American pastor from the Evangelical
National Foundation, Richard Cizik, told crowds that there was a
similarity between what was happening in Darfur, and what Turkey had
done to the Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century. Said

Cizik, “The world remained silent before the genocides of the
Armenians, the Jews, the Cambodians, and the Rwandans. On the global
agenda, there can be no item more pressing than saving the people of
Darfur from extermination.”

The White House has already said that it acknowledges what is happening
in Darfur as a genocide, while the United Nations has not yet used
that term.
