90th Anniversary of Genocide in Armenia

This is one of the most shameful events in human history, and in American policy. It is too little known.

A promising start? - The Washington Times: Commentary - May 15, 2005:
"Also, we witness the dangerous temptation of modern-day Turkish officials to present the extermination of the Ottoman Empire's Armenian population as a result of World War I. We want to remind all that it was the exact hope, argument and calculation of the perpetrators that the massacres and deportations of Armenians would pass unnoticed under the cover of World War I. Neither war nor anything else can explain or justify the murder of 1.5 million innocent Armenian children, women, and men in the Ottoman Turkey. "
Its history can be found in A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide
