U.S. Soldiers In Iraq Told To Lobby Against Genocide Resolution
http://www.azg.am/?lang=EN&num=2007032803

WASHINGTON (A.W.)-Emboldened by the support of the Bush Administration, Turkey's campaign against the recognition of the Armenian Genocide continues to expand and has even reached Iraq.

As pressure by the Turkish government, U.S. State Department and Department of Defense mounts against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congress, U.S.soldiers in Iraq are now being recruited to advance the policy of genocide denial.

In the past weeks, some U.S. soldiers in Iraq have been told to call their Congressmen and demand that they cease sponsoring the Armenian Genocide resolution, citing the problems they might face in Iraq as a consequence if the resolution is passed.

1. Is there any confirmation of this?

2. Disgusting, if true...
...but not all that surprising, I guess. The Turkish government is engaged in its own warped version of holocaust denial. What they did in Armenia was undoubtedly genocide and should be labeled as such.
