Recognizing an Armenian genocide
They speak in favor if a U.S. House resolution Thousands of local
Armenians want the United States to take a stand.
During World War I, as many as a million and a half Armenians were
killed in Turkey. Armenians call it a genocide, Turkey calls it the
result of a civil war.
Now, a U.S. house panel has approved a resolution recognizing the
killings as a genocide. It is likely to pass a full House vote,
despite White House objections. The Bush administration says the
resolution could hurt the war on terror because it could offend Turkey.
