A poll was sent to me asking:
Should the United States formally recognize the World War I-era killing of Armenians as genocide?
Naturally I voted YES. But was shocked that only 22% agreed!?
Those are the results when I took this poll - I hope we can tip the scale by showing our support!
Hi Andrew - I'm not sure I understand what you mean by: ..the use of the (term?) genocide... by the Democrats seems a bit low politically...?
Am I correct in that even though you believe that the genocide happened, you are concerned with what might be seem as an insult or betrayal to the Turkish from the U.S.?
You ask a good question, the Turks shouldn't be sore about this. They should be like the Germans... They admitted to the jewish genocide by the Nazis, and put the whole issue behind them, The Turks are perpetuating the issue by denying the genocide even happened.
Hassan - you have made many inaccurate comments in this discussion, but you are correct only about my Sincerity...
I am Sincerely proud of my rich Heritage, I am Sincerely humbled by my Greek Orthodoxy, I am Sincerely awed by the vast contributions to the world Hellenism has made in areas of Art, Philosophy, Architecture, Literature, Democracy, Science, Mathematics just to name a few.
I am however suspicious of your sincerity in joining a Hellenic site intended to bring together Greeks and Philhellenes from around the world. I can't understand if you thought you might find an unintelligent person to believe your unsubstantiated and antagonistic words. However, I can understand the Envy and attempt to claim the beautiful and abundant culture of Hellas. The passionate replies you received show the depth of the Hellenic heart and intelligence that has always and will continue to exist in our people. Whether harassed, oppressed, robbed, invaded, murdered, hung or raped our Fire can not be extinguished.

Youre intelligence and class should rub off on one and all ,whom may be reading this discussion you once began, before it was so rudely interrupted by false information and idiocracy(lol) Thank you for expressing yourself in the manner you just have and...
