French lawmakers easily passed a measure Thursday to make it a crime to deny the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 by Ottoman Turks amounted to genocide. Turkey swiftly retaliated, ordering its ambassador home and halting official contacts, including some military cooperation.
The Armenian Diaspora has turned the genocide issue with the Turks into a world-wide "industry". Does it make any sense in this time and age to proclaim political resolutions? Just imagine if the Algerians or Vietnamese did the same with the French. Or the Angoleans with the Portugese or the American Indians with the Americans, or India with the British, or Indonesia with the Dutch, etc. etc. Just about every country in the world has some "human drama" hidden in their closet. Passing a vote in a parliament means very little. One can never turn the clock back on history. Even enshrining human rights as a basic principle in a countries constitution does not guarantee that this will never happen.
