It is important that we explicitly call it out. Especially if the US President calls it that way, and if the US Congress refers to it that way. Because, it will go a long way to address the other part of your comment: "The Armenian genocide is probably one of the most forgotten chapters of recent history" ... it needs to be called out all the more in order to fight the misinformation campaign by the Turkish government.Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-48657219513222725382015-04-21T19:53:33.884-07:002015-04-21T19:53:33.884-07:00The horrors that man is able to inflict on man.

It probably ranks along with the Holocaust as one of the worst atrocities perpetrated by mankind on itself. And yet few people know, or care about it. We even remember the horrors of say Genghis Khan, but have forgotten what the Ottomans did to the Armenians. <br /><br />This is a fact of history. Who cares what the US President says. For that matter, who is the US President to say anything on this. And whether anybody wants to call it genocide or not is academic, that's what it was.
