/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Congressman Adam Schiff sent a response letter to
Gunay Evinch of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations and Kaya
Boztepe of the Federation of Turkish American Associations regarding
the necessity to pass the House Armenian Genocide Resolution (H. Res.

252). Mr. Evinch and Mr. Boztepe recently wrote to Congressman Schiff
asking that he withdraw his Armenian Genocide Resolution in light
of the recently signed Turkey – Armenian Protocols, Mr. Sean Oblack,
spokesman for Congressman Schiff, told PanARMENIAN.Net.

The Protocols call for a commission to review the historical dimensions
of the enmity between Armenia and Turkey. In response, Congressman
Schiff states it is imperative that the Congress pass the Genocide
Resolution to prevent Armenia from being forced to accept an historical
whitewash in order advance relations with Turkey.

"In recent months, some, including some in our own government
have suggested that the commission is not intended as a vehicle to
review the history of the Armenian Genocide. Your letter honestly
characterizes it as a vehicle to continue Ankara’s decades of
denial, supporting my own interpretation of the Protocols’ commission
provision," Congressman Schiff wrote in his letter. "The best way to
ensure that the truth about the Armenian Genocide is recognized is
for the United States Congress to act to commemorate the victims now,
while a handful of survivors are still with us."

Emil Lazarian: “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
