/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A delegation of Turkish Jews lobbied against
a resolution under consideration in the U.S. Congress that would
recognize the 1915 massacres of Armenians as genocide, reports the
Jewish Telegraph Agency. The three-person delegation, headed by Silvyo
Ovadya, the president of the Turkish Jewish community, attended this
week’s American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference
and met with Jewish leaders as well as members of Congress. Turkish
diplomats have been unsuccessful in mustering broad community support
against the non-binding resolution proposed by Rep. Adam Schiff
(D-Calif.), who is Jewish and has a large Armenian constituency.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
