Republican US Senator John McCain, who lost to current US President Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race, has said he believes “ample documentation” exists proving that “Genocide had been committed against the Armenian people.”
McCain dodged the issue during his presidential campaign in 2008, failing to properly characterize the crime as Genocide.
“I believe that a genocide was committed against Armenians, and I think there is ample documentation of that,” McCain said in a recent interview with the Georgian service of Voice of America. “The Turkish and Armenian people and states cannot forget the past. Especially Armenians cannot.”
“Because of that,” McCain said, he understood and agreed with Armenia’s efforts to normalize relations with Turkey on a step-by-step basis. “I support that view,” he said.
“We are witnessing significant progress in the relations between Turkey and Armenia,” McCain added. “For the first time, parties are making steps towards the same direction.”
The Arizona Senator is running for re-election in the 2010 Senate race.
