altho this may bring discomfort to the descendants of those who perpetrated the genocide, and to those in power now who don't want to recognize that it happened, it did indeed happen--and as sent so stud said, there was a push for this as there are so few armenians left from that period in time.

it may stir up trouble, but we shouldn't hide from the truth, or be fearful of speaking out.

also, since it was 80 years ago, you could also ask why the Turks are so pissed off about a non binding resolution, and why things will 'never be the same' according to one of the top Turkish pols.

we have a history of standing up for the little guy, or taking sides with the underdog. this is another example of that. better to take a stand imo than to kowtow to thugs and their threats. and i would think that 1.5 million lives lost is certainly something to pass a resolution about.
