Es ist eine Schande, dass die Armenier seit über 9o Jahren darum kämpfen müssen, als Opfer eines Völkermords anerkannt zu werden. Eine Schane ist auch, dass sich jüdische Politiker und Organisationen auf die Seite der Türkei schlagen - eine dumme, kurzsichtige und am Ende kontraproduktive Politik der Anbiederung:

The Enemy of My Friend is My Enemy?
A nation that has been the victim of genocide should not be forced to
prove the fact of genocide. For a nation to support the perpetrators of
genocide by placating the world with official statements supporting the
Turkish government’s shameless policies of denial is disgraceful and
appalling; for a nation that itself has likewise suffered an attempted
obliteration to do so is incomprehensible. The “placating” efforts by
Jewish officials and functionaries are doomed to backfire: the denial
of the Armenian Genocide in no way helps to make Israel stronger or to
increase the security of the Jewish People.

From the mountains of Ararat
As Harvard’s only professor of Armenian studies, I have found myself attempting to negotiate a viable, middle way, and have suggested that the Jewish community in America support genocide recognition by the U.S., which Israel might then follow, in the face of Turkish threats, which have included an attempt to blackmail the small Sephardic community in Turkey. Turkish intellectuals and defenders of human rights, like the historian Taner Akcam and the Nobel Prize-winning writer Orhan Pamuk, have insisted at great personal risk that Turkey reexamine its past. We should support them. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/936898.html
