The one thing about History is that it never ends, all nations have are guilty of something at some time. World War One is an interest of VIEWS, thus the question as to if a crime committed more than a Century ago by one nation on another nation can be judged today. Thus we come to the Armenian genocide question and the resolution by the USA House of Representatives? The actions of the Ottoman Empire and its killing of the Armenian people was a genocide, that is beyond debate, the question is what about NOW. We the UK and the USA are fighting a War on Terror, we need the Turkey. The past shall never be lost or forgotten but we have troops in harms way NOW. The Turkey of today has to deal with this issue but we due to the political and military situation have to protect our troops, thus NOW is not the time for such a vote, we have to be harsh and realistic, future different question, but we shall not forget.
