    63% of respondents say the US should recognize the Armenian Genocide

    12.10.2007 15:40

    The majority of respondents of the online poll initiated by MSNBC
    webpage said the United States should recognize the Armenian
    Genocide. Asked whether the US should recognize the World War I-era
    killing of Armenians as genocide, 63 percent of the respondents gave
    a positive answer. About 28 thousand people participated in the
    survey. `Yes. Many scholars agree that the Ottoman Turks
    systematically killed up to 1.5 million Armenians. Other countries
    have recognized this as genocide. The US should do the same.'

    Only 30% of the respondents said `No. Historians continue to debate
    whether the deaths were genocide. Besides, Turkey is too important an
    ally to alienate when the US has troops in the Middle East. 6.5 %
    said they are not sure. About 28 thousand people participated in the
    survey.
