Thanks Gerty and welcome to the forum. We support Greeks on the Cyprus issue so you will find many sympathethic people here.

Thanks Joseph much appreciated...And hopefully one day we can rejoice justice together


When do you think the next phase will be for a fully blown resolution that will bind the president of the USA to actually call a genocide?...rather than running around playing with words as the current Bush administration is currently doing?

Well the finals vote on the bill should be sometime next month, before November 22nd.. and that would be an official recognition by U.S. Would Bush ever use the word genocide? That I cannot answer and at this point don't even care about. I lost all the respect I had left for him after his severe reaction over the passage of the bill. Such a shame.

Welcome to the forum

I know what you mean about losing respect for Bush...

But I see it a bit different than that...It was all about timing...

Currently there are 2 huge US bases been built
1...Nth Lebanon
2...Kurdistan

These bases are not finished yet.

Lets look at what the US administration is saying...Recognising the Armenian genocide will put the US troops in jeopardy in Iraq and this was their whole argument...Now if the US moves the base from turkey to Kurdistan, then this jeopardy will be removed...

I think there are many within the administration that still blame turkey for all the woes in Iraq and I am pretty certain they ain't gonna forget it...The only time they indeed needed turkey, turkey refused them...This constitutes a great sin on behalf of turkey...saying NO to the US...

If Bush does not voice the word genocide he will be a bigger fool than what he currently seems to be...

On another side note...Isn't there a number of states in the US that actually do recognize the American genocide?


PS...I can't believe in the 21st century the US is scared to voice the word genocide when in fact they do use this word when ever it suits them...ie. Darfur...

There are 40 states so far out of 50 in USA that has recognized the Armenian genocide.

And may i also add that over 20 countries has recognized the Armenian genocide.

By the way welcome to the forum gerty.

Hey guys ,sometimes I fool around at the Topix Armenian or/and Turkish forums lately (since the resolution's passing)there has been a influx of Neo-con activists/lawyer-lobbyists that are bombarding it with comments like its the Dem's trick ,and why now/ and so on ,and I had my hands full answering all of them if you can help I would appreciate it getting over Turks denial is easy but to argue with fellow Americans takes a little more time since they are avoiding the issue by superceding it with domestic politics.I believe with the presedential elections coming up were in a exciting and scary brand of neo-politics.The political maps certainly have begun to change giving us hope for geo-political maps also to change,in any case change is in the air and we're on the winning side again !Lets see it through the end.

Thanks
