The Armenian Genocide is a Turkish crime against humanity that needs to be addressed head on.
The United States of America have the long standing duty to resolve in recognition of this Turkish atrocity against human rights, human dignity and freedom.
Turkey must stand accountable to ALL its past and present actions including the continued for 37 years barbaric invasion and internationally illegal occupation of half the territory of the Republic of Cyprus .”
