WASHINGTON, DC – The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) today questioned the credibility of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Secretary of Defense William Cohen to issue a Genocide prevention report, given their longstanding opposition to Armenian Genocide legislation.
The report, unveiled earlier today at the National Press Club by the Genocide Prevention Task Force, co-chaired by Albright and Cohen, is designed to encourage U.S. leadership in ending the cycle of Genocide.
"Albright and Cohen offered some worthwhile solutions today but, sadly, as two of the main architects of U.S. denial of the Armenian Genocide, remain very much part of the problem the Task Force set out to address," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "Secretaries Albright and Cohen both have long track records, both as government officials and private citizens, of working to block American recognition of the Armenian Genocide."
Last year, both Secretaries Cohen and Albright sent letters to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposing Congressional legislation (H.Res.106 / S.Res.106) aimed to end U.S. complicity in Armenian Genocide denial through proper U.S. reaffirmation of that crime against humanity. Secretary Cohen's firm, the Cohen Group, is a strategic partner with DLA / Piper, a registered foreign agent representing the Government of Turkey, paid $1.8 million a year to, among other things, lobby against Armenian Genocide legislation. The Cohen Group is also a member of the American Turkish Council, which has been outspoken in its opposition to Armenian Genocide legislation.

They don't make any sense.

First Cohen says that they are "trying to look ahead" while learning from the past, but looking ahead, while seeing what worked in the past, but they're looking ahead and that's why something, something, something, they don't recognize the genocide.
Then Madeline not-so-bright answers a question that was never asked by attaching independent clauses together with conjunctions and phrases that signal nonexistent relationships between them:
"In the things that we've been involved in there was kind of a sense of definitional aspects that prevented any movement and, therefore, I think it's been very important for us to broaden what we are talking about, so that we're talking about, uh, uh, any actions against civilians [garbled] targeted because of who they are."

Somehow, I'm a bit sceptical that US will ever recognise the Great Calamity as an act of Genocide. Some things are possible (like a balck persident), other things are not...
