When anyone questions the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis against the Jews during World War II they are rightfully scorned. But now, the same people who would join in such scorning are being blackmailed by the Turkish government into denying the first holocaust of Armenians that set the stage for the Jewish Holocaust. Why is is NOT ok to question or deny the genocide taken against Europe's Jews, but perfectly acceptable to deny the Armenian holocaust in which over 1 1/2 million innocent people died? We as a country should be ashamed, as should Britain and any other country that is going along with this political blackmail by the Turks.

Who exactly is denying what happened? Do you need to pass a resolution in order to claim something happened? Does that mean the government is denying the occurrence of any event in history for which they haven't passed a resolution. Forcing the government to pass a resolution acknowledging an even that happened a century ago and pissing off an ally in the process just doesn't make any sense to me. And not passing a resolution to that effect isn't denying anything.
