[abir bazaz]

The U.S. government has justified its refusal to recognize the Genocide by invoking the strategic significance of Turkey. But, in fact, "considerations of domestic political economy have loomed large." 


THERE CAN BE four principal purposes of recognition: "(1) recognition as a vehicle for the return of historic Armenian lands to their rightful owners; (2) recognition to heal the individual and collective emotional wounds of the survivors and the nation as a whole; (3) recognition for pecuniary compensation; and (4) recognition to secure official legitimacy for purposes of public policy regarding the subject of the Armenian Genocide."


The case must be made that "Turkey’s hostility to Armenians and the Genocide taboo are obstacles on the road to democratic progress and regional security." Then, the European Union could adopt "much of the Armenian analysis of regional relations, and press upon Turkey to improve its relations with its tiny northern neighbor."
