David Krikorian's Letter Regarding the Armenian Genocide
Letter - November 2, 2008.
Written by David Krikorian.
To My Supporters and the People of the Second Congressional District,
I ask the people of Ohio's second congressional district to ask
themselves if our Representative should be taking money from a foreign
government that is killing our soldiers?
The linked flyer is being widely distributed across the second district
in the last days of this campaign season to expose Jean Schmidt as a
betrayer of American history and her Christian faith. With her actions,
Jean Schmidt has proven that she is unfit for service at any level in
the U.S. Government, let alone the U.S. House of Representatives. I
demand her immediate withdrawal from this race and her apology to the
people of the United States of America for the crime she has committed
against our American soldiers and humanity by denying the undisputed
facts of the Armenian Genocide. Jean Schmidt is a selfish person and
should seek the help of professional counseling.
American forces battling Al-Qaida in Afghanistan are encountering
rising numbers of Turkish militants. The Associated Press reported that
"The story of Turkish involvement in transnational jihadism is one of
the best kept stories of the war on terror. ...The local Afghans whom
I talked to claim that the Turks and other foreigners are more prone
to suicidal assaults than the local Taliban." Another report cites
the fact that Turk suicide bomber Cuneyt Ciftci was lauded by Turkish
militant Islamic web sites as a hero for killing 70 U.S. soldiers in
Afghanistan in March.
My campaign for U.S. Representative has been entirely focused on our
country's economic security. Of the three candidates in this race,
there can be no question as to who is best qualified to lead our
district during this great economic and financial crisis. I want to
take this opportunity, however, to set the record straight on something
I have not spoken publicly about and that is Jean Schmidt's denial
of the Armenian Genocide and why I supported my Democratic opponent
in 2006.
Republican controlled media outlets in southwest Ohio have correctly
reported that I contributed to two Democrats that sought their
party's nomination in 2006 to oppose Jean Schmidt in the general
election. While that is indeed true, it is important to understand that
my motivation for doing so was entirely the result of Jean Schmidt's
insane denial of the Christian Armenian Genocide at the hands of the
Muslim Ottoman Empire. Jean Schmidt has taken $30,000 in blood money
from Turkish government sponsored political action committees to deny
the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children by the
Ottoman Turkish Government during World War I.
Both sets of my grandparents are survivors of this first Holocaust
of the 20th century and came to America in the early 1920's. Most of
their family members at the time were murdered.
The facts of the Armenian genocide are universally accepted by nations
around the world, prominent scholars and statesmen and 40 U.S. states
including Ohio. The only deniers of this great tragedy which led to
the Holocaust of the Jews by Nazi Germany are the Turkish Government
and certain members of the United States Congress including Jean
Schmidt. If your family and race were murdered and brought to the
brink of extermination, you would have done the exact same thing,
you would have supported anyone running against Jean Schmidt.
Here are some facts:
The Armenian Genocide is officially recognized by 20 nations including
Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Greece,
Italy, Lebanon, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Switzerland and the
Vatican City among others. In fact it is a CRIME to deny the Armenian
Genocide in France and Switzerland punishable by incarceration.
Jean Schmidt has taken $30,000 in blood money from Turkish government
sponsored political action committees and Turkish people in 2008 in
exchange for helping them to cover-up the mass murder of 1.5 million
Christians. This information is public record and can be found on
the Federal Elections Commission database at http://www.FEC.gov.
Jean Schmidt says that: "at this time she does not have enough
information to characterize these deaths as genocide especially since
those responsible are long since dead" Jean Schmidt's office March
29, 2007.
Many notable scholars and statesman have officially recognized the
Armenian Genocide including:
President Ronald Reagan Pope John Paul II Holocaust survivor and
Nobel Lauriat Elie Wiesel U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Henry
Morgenthau Sir Winston Churchill Governor Ted Strickland Representative
Steve Chabot
Jean Schmidt says: "The question comes to the definition of genocide
and I don't think we are comfortable making that attribution at this
time" Jean Schmidt's office, March 30, 2007.
Jean Schmidt is a self-serving politician and an embarrassment to her
district and to the United States of America. The people of Ohio's
second district will , if they elect her on November 4th, condone her
denial of the Genocide of 1.5 million Christians. And, in so doing,
be guilty of a crime against humanity as the cover-up is just as bad
as the crime. It is not enough to vote party like mindless sheep. Vote
conscience and ideal and stand up for the values you claim to hold. If
you don't, you are merely a barking dog and God is indeed watching.
Jean Schmidt MUST GO and WE the people must do it. Because you
are Americans and because you are human beings and because you are
Christians.
