One of the most outstanding Jewish foundations of the USA,
Anti-Defamation League (ADL), has changed its attitude towards the
1915 Armenian affairs and decided to recognize them.
The ADL, which was founded against anti-Semitism, has stated that
they are against the project involving the 1915 Armenian affairs. The
President of the ADL, Abraham Foxman, has declared on their website
that they have revised their attitude towards these affairs and decided
that Armenian affairs mean a "holocaust" regarding their consequences.
Foxman, on the other hand, expressed that it will prove no good if
they accept the project involving the claims on the Armenian affairs,
and moreover, that might harm the relations of the Jewish community
in Turkey with Turkey, the USA and Israel.
Foxman admitted that this alteration of attitude is because of their
concerns about the unity of the Jewish community. The project is
still at the USA House of Representatives and is supported by the
225 members out of 435.
