    ADL INSISTS ON "GENOCIDE"

    Sabah, Turkey
    Aug 28 2007

    Last week, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) claimed that the Armenian
    affairs in 1915 were "equal to genocide," and caused reaction of
    Turkey. The ADL Chairman Abraham Foxman insists on this claim still.

    Abraham Foxman, in his last article published on the ADL website
    and in the magazine "The Jewish Advocate," repeated his claim that
    the affairs in 1915 were genocide. He admitted that these sort of
    assertions do no good to the Turkish-Armenian relations, but that
    they will not step back about them.

    In his article, Foxman wrote, "We have heard, for tens of years,
    that Jewish leaders have been trying to define the actions of Turks
    against Armenians as genocide. As a Jewish- supporting constitution,
    we could not remain indifferent to the subject. Still, we have a
    dilemma: We have committed ourselves to educating people against all
    kinds of violence, not only anti-Semitism; so, we cannot ignore the
    things done to the Armenian community in the Ottoman Empire."

    He continued the article, saying that they are against the decision
    of the US Congress on the subject of the so-called Armenian genocide,
    but they will keep using the term "genocide."

    On the other hand, the ADL re-employed Andrew Tarsy, whom they had made
    redundant after his causing an internal chaos within the constitution
    about the affairs in 1915. While he was the New England agent of the
    ADL, he objected the policy of the constitution for the first time,
    saying that the affairs were genocide, and that had caused him to be
    out of his job. After many sub-commissions within the ADL displayed
    a position supporting that policy, Foxman and the administration
    altered their attitude as well.
