I do not think that the US would change its current “genocide denial policy” to convince Turkey to acknowledge the “Armenian Genocide”.
If you really believe that the US could set up such benchmark to convince the Turks, then you might be very mistaken.
Balkar, I’m not going to disagree, but I didn’t write the post that’s linked to from this GV post. Perhaps you should leave your comment there.
Meanwhile, I’ve written my own thoughts on the subject at: http://frontlineclub.com/blogs/onnikkrikorian/2009/02/obama-and-the-armenian-question.html
