This public apology is a first step in that direction and will inevitably lead to Turkey coming to grips with its genocidal <\/span>past,&#8221; <strong>Bryan Ardouny<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis process was encouraged in 2003 by the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), which concluded that &#8220;the Events [of 1915], viewed collectively, can thus be said to include all of the elements of the crime of genocide as defined in the Convention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noting the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joseph Biden next month and Obama\u2019s statement from October which read, &#8220;Joe Biden and I believe that the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence,&#8221; Ardouny said, &#8220;They are both on record as supporting <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Turkey\u2019s reconciliation with its past, and affirmation of the Armenian Genocide. Coupled with Obama\u2019s recent selection of Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, the Obama-Biden Administration has an opportunity to clearly affirm the Armenian Genocide and, at the same time, help Turkey reverse its policy of denial. It will also send a me ssage that the U.S. will no longer shelter Turkey from criticism if it continues to persecute leading intellectuals by invoking Article 301 of its Penal Code.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some 14 thousand people have already signed the online public apology for the <strong>Armenian Genocide<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YORUM YAPMAGA LUZUM VARMI SOYKIRIMI KABULLENMEYE HAZIR OLMAK TURKLER ICIN SON SANS 12 BIN 120 BIN OLDUGU GUN ZATEN TUM DUNYA TURKIYEYI\u00a0 ZORLIYACAKTIR CUMHUR BASKANIMIZIN ERIVANA MAC&#8217;A GITMESININ TURKIYEYI NEREYE SURUKLEDIGINI GOREN VARMI?
