 Congressman says time for U.S. to recognize Armenian Genocide February 9, 2018 - 18:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Representative for California Ted Lieu has proposed approving the bill on the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in response to Turkish threats against American troops in the Syrian city of Afrin. Turkey’s Afrin operation, code-named operation Olive Branch, has been heavily criticised. Addressing a Congress sub-committee session, Lieu called for acknowledging the historical fact of the Armenian Genocide, reminding that the U.S. has failed to do so to preserve relations with Turkey. Some three dozen countries, hundreds of local government bodies and international organizations have so far recognized the killings of 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as genocide. Turkey denies to this day.   Top stories The Armenian government on September 19 approved the opening of embassies in Israel and Ethiopia. The report found 4,839 editorials and news reports targeting national, ethnic and religious groups. Armenians worldwide are celebrating the 28th anniversary of the proclamation of Artsakh Republic on September 2. It’s a contradiction that continues to haunt the contemporary Armenian community, according to Burger.
