Turkey. The Armenians were deported and left to the tender mercies of their hereditary enemies, the Kurds, and the few survivors who made it to Arab countries [who were well-disposed to Armenians, particularly in Beirut], had tales of horror which I heard while an Officer in the US Embassy in Beirut in the seventies. Bush's pro-Turkish stance derives from the Turkish support of Israel [The Holocaust Museum in DC was originally planned to have a wing with the Armenian genocide, but the Jews scotched it as muddying the "unique" genocide that Hitler inflicted on their people.] I'm familiar with the Fresno & Watertown MA Armenian communities and the DC lobbying community. Remember how the Turks hired Barry Zorthian to push their DC agenda forward in a clever way of dividing Armenian sentiment? As more genocides, demoncides, and mass murders [like the passive one in Myanmar/Burma recently when relief organizations were kept from afflicted areas] proliferate, this will become a huge issue in a world where global communications cannot allow these to happen unattended [although in N. Korea, over a million starved in a late '90s famine without a peep from the MSM.] The Armenians should have their own memorial in DC and get it funded from Congress as the Holocaust Museum was [although the original project was bait/switched to a Jewish Holocaust after the funding was voted.
