Genocide Recognition

Yesterday, on the eve of the discussion of Resolution 106 at the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Turkish parliamentary delegation,
led by Egemen Bagish, held a number of meetings at the Office of the
US Secretary of State, the Pentagon and the Congress.

According to CNN-Turk, although assistant to US Secretary of State
Daniel Fried told the Turkish delegation that Resolution 106 is a
result of misunderstanding and expressed hope that Bush’s Government
will be able to fail its adoption, he also added, "The fearful events
of 1915 are obvious truth.

1,5 million Armenians were killed or expelled fro, their lands. Each
state, including the United States of America, has to bear
responsibility for the dark pages of its history and frankly bear
with them".

In this matter Daniel Fried let the Turkish delegation know that the
efforts of official Washington against Resolution 106 do not imply
denying the fact of the Armenian Genocide. Moreover, as Fried’s advice
to take responsibility for the history was addressed to the Republic
of Turkey, the United States also admit the immediate connection of
Kemalists with the Armenian Genocide.
