Will Biden heed this call? Not likely. He is far too beholden to Islamic interests in the U.S. to speak out too strongly against an Islamic jihad operation. Armenia is all that is standing in the way of a Greater Turkestan stretching from Asia Minor deep into Central Asia. “Open letter to President Biden: Stop […]

What Lies Beneath: Biden’s Deceptive Acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide
Joe Biden’s April 24 statement acknowledging the Armenian Genocide (1915–1923+) carried out by Turkey was welcome, but flawed. Indeed, “Turkey” appears nowhere in the document. Moreover, the State Department swiftly undermined Biden’s virtuous-sounding words. American acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide isn’t even new. The U.S. House has passed several resolutions on the Genocide. And […]

Turkey: Armenian Apostolic Church sues government for return of its historic seat, seized during Armenian Genocide

But many things have happened to change that calculation: the […]
Why Israel Has Not Yet Recognized the Armenian Genocide, and Why It Should Now
One country, Israel, whose people are intimately familiar, as victims, with genocide – with the greatest of all genocides, the Holocaust — refuses until today to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Now that America has done so, it’s even more important for Israel to follow suit. “Why has Israel not yet recognized the Armenian Genocide?,” by […]
