Administration Pressing Berman To Kill Armenian Genocide Resolution

The White House Bulletin
March 4, 2010 Thursday

The Obama administration is pushing House Foreign Affairs Committee
Chairman Howard Berman to kill a resolution declaring that Ottoman-era
killing of Armenians was genocide. A White House spokesman said that
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Berman that passing the
resolution would jeopardize reconciliation talks between Turkey and
Armenia. Despite the pressure from the administration, Berman today
urged members of the committee to approve the resolution, which would
send it to the full House. The committee approved a similar measure in
2007, but it was not brought to the House floor following heavy
pressure from President Bush.

“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
