Armenian genocide bill refers to Adolf Hitler in context of Turkey
The bill proposing official recognition of the Armenians' claims of
genocide which has been presented to the floor of the US House of
Representatives reportedly references Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in
context of the allegations against Turkey.
The bill, which received signatures from more than 150 members of the
435 member House, requests that the US president refer to the
"Armenian genocide" in his annual April 24 message, and that the
Armenian claims become an accepted part of US foreign policy.
Noteable, one section of the bill even asserts that Nazi leader Adolf
Hitler was "imitating the Turks" in his actions. The bill notes that
Hitler, prior to invading Poland, queried "Who even remembers that
the Armenians were wiped out?"
Sources in the US capital note that, at this point, it looks very
likely that the Armenian bill will in fact pass through the US
Congress.
