"Obama asks Congress not to judge Turkey on Armenia
March 6, 5:04
The Obama administration has asked the House of Representatives not to vote on whether Turkey committed genocide against Armenians in 1915.
Armenian-Americans are disappointed in this reversal of what they say was an Obama campaign promise. The Administration explains that this is a matter between Turkey and Armenia. Commentators point out how much the U.S. depends on Turkey, having the second biggest military in NATO and therefore is a big customer of the U.S., has forces in Afghanistan, hosts U.S. bases near Iraq, and unofficially mediates between the U.S. and Iran (John d. McKinnon and Marc Champion, Wall St. J., 3/6, A12)."
