/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Several Jewish groups are relaying to Congress
a letter from the Turkish Jewish community advocating against the
Armenian GenocideResolution (H. Res. 106). "Turks want Jewish groups
to advocate against the resolution, but only one group, the Jewish
Institute of National Security Affairs, has done so," an online news
portal called The Global News Service of the Jewish People (JTA)
reported earlier this week.
It notes other Jewish groups, mindful of the history of Holocaust
revisionism, do not want to deny Armenians the opportunity to
commemorate their own genocide, which Israeli researchers have
said was a precursor to the Holocaust. American Jewish Committee,
Anti-Defamation League and B’nai B’rith International will relay
the Turkish Jewish letter to Congress later this week, but will not
necessarily endorse it," JTA reported.
