The House Foreign Affairs Committee has again, as in 2007, passed a resolution declaring the Ottoman Empire's early 20th century massacres of Armenians to be genocide. (As in 2007, the resolution will likely go no further.)
Once again, it's "nice" to see Barack Obama do a civil liberties and human rights flip flop, now saying, well, maybe it isn't genocide, contra a campaign pledge.
And, modern Turkey needs to deal with it, rather than deny it and get huffy.
