Good points made by the author. Bringing up other troubling matters.

What about the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia and the displaced Azeris?

That’s nonsense. This whole issue is much more complicated. Which peoples were where and how they were forced out is difficult to determine accurately. The Turks were the winners in the deaths of millions. They also just so happened to be in power.

Guilty of genocide? I think so. You may disagree. However, arguing that question (and then blurring one event with another 100 years later) confuses the issue at hand:

Should the House pass this resolution?

I don’t think they should *ever* pass resolutions concerning such events. As has been stated before, if congress passes a resolution saying the Earth is flat, does that make it so?

It’s *pointless*. But it’s just as pointless to argue that it shouldn’t be passed because there was no genocide. That concedes congress should consider the question.

Considering the question in congress is pure nonsense.
