ANNA ESHOO: U.S. AND TURKEY SHOULD PUT THE LIE ASIDE
- "The time for passing the Genocide Resolution has never been more right," said Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.). Eshoo was delivering her keynote address at the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Eastern USA's Centennial Gala Banquet at the Yale Club in New York. "I will be meeting with the president on March 30 evening and I am going to again raise this issue of Armenian Genocide recognition with him," she noted. "The denial continues every minute Congress does not recognize it," Eshoo said, stressing that "when you deny the truth, you sanction a lie." Although "it's tempting to say the time is right for the governments of the U.S. and Turkey to put the lie aside," the Congresswoman noted that it is always the right time to speak the truth. She called on the U.S. to live out--in the words of Lincoln--"the better angels of our nature" and to recognize the truth, asbarez.com reports.
