Handel interviewed Michael Bobelian, the author of a recently released book called the Children of Armenia: A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-long Struggle for Justice.During the 12 minute interview, which was aired during the prime drive time morning commute hour at 7:30am, Handel addressed both the efforts within the United States to ensure that the US government appropriately acknowledges the Armenian Genocide and Turkey's ongoing denial. This past May, during a segment of the Bill Handel show, one of the show's staff made an irresponsible joking comment referencing the Armenian Genocide which upset the Armenian American community. KFI and Clear Channel management and Bill Handel met with the ANC, community leaders and activists to apologize for the comment and affirmed the Armenian Genocide was not a joking matter and would not be addressed in this way again.
