Do you believe the Ottoman Empire committed an Armenian Genocide?


H.R. 106 Armenian Genocide Resolution

So last I heard was that this issue would not be followed up on.

I know Jon Stuart of the Daily Show has made fun of American hypocrisy at issues like the Native Indians and enslavement of Africans in comparison to Congress talking about the Armenian genocide resolution. But he also criticized Bush for supporting Turkey. He also made fun of NPR for naming one of their articles "NPR: Turkey Fight Bill Genocide", which clearly shows the intelligence level of people working there.

Also Bill Maher made fun of the genocide resolution extremely well:

What saddened me is the political use of the phrase "We agree with the Armenians, but its not good timing for this resolution", or "we agree with the Armenians but Turkey is a big ally in the middle east"... These are completely wrong reasons to do the right thing. The right reason was expressed best by Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, who said clearly "[I am not opposed to the Armenian Genocide Resolution because Turkey is a strategic ally but because the Armenian genocide doesn't exist!]". Finally a politician who knows her history, a politician that finally understands that propaganda can be used to trick people into believing in a cause that never has been proven in the first place. Finally a politician understands that the reason so many countries recognize the Armenian genocide is because they have many Armenian constituents voting and donating for bribe-able politicians.

Jon Stuart Armenian Genocide Article
Some right minded individual who isn't a Turk finally sees the bigger picture at hand. Funny isn't it? Genocides all over the world and definitely rampant in Africa where people are dying all this time. While Westerners still buy diamonds that are from conflict areas where people are tortured to dig them up, and still these Armenians persist with their selfish and baseless accusations that have been proven wrong countless times.

Daily Show episode about Armenian Strife. Listen closely however, to what Jon Stuart says at the end. I think he himself doesn't really care for the Armenian genocide theory one way or another, but only wants to criticize Bush and his friends.
