Pelosi’s Refusal Will Have Dire Consequences
Outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi showed her true colors on Wednesday by refusing to schedule a vote on the Armenian Genocide Resolution. For four years, as Speaker, she patronized the Armenian-American community and failed to honor her promise and articulated pledge to recognize the Genocide, becoming a pawn of the Turkish denialist movement.

WikiLeaks Reveals Turkey’s Efforts to Derail Genocide Bill,
Force Pro-Azeri Settlement on Karabakh
WASHINGTON—The
public disclosure on Sunday by WikiLeaks of tens of thousands of
U.S. diplomatic cables included many of special interest to
Armenian Americans, most notably a “smoking gun” revelation that
Turkey has aggressively used the Turkey-Armenia protocols,
particularly the prospect of its ratification, to pressure
American leaders against U.S. recognition of the Armenian
Genocide and in favor of a pro-Azerbaijani settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabagh conflict, reported the Armenian National
Committee of America (ANCA).
“These files are a smoking-gun,” explained ANCA executive director Aram Hamparian. “They reveal the remarkable candor with which Ankara has, from day one, sought to pressure the United States to enforce it preconditions for the Turkey-Armenia protocols. It’s painfully clear from the words of Turkey’s own leaders that, rather than seeking peace, they instead sought to use the prospect of the ratification of these accords to block the Armenian Genocide recognition and to force a pro-Azerbaijani resolution of Nagorno-Karabagh.”

WikiLeaks Reveals Turkish Blackmail on Genocide, Protocols, Karabakh
In a Feb. 25, 2010 confidential cable from the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey James Jeffery noted that Turkey had made it clear that its ratification of the Turkey-Armenia protocols was predicated on Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev’s approval. Specifically, in describing a Feb. 18, 2010 meeting between U.S. Under Secretary of State William Burns and Turkish Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Sinirlioglu, Jeffery writes: “Sinirlioglu appealed for ‘simultaneity’ between Armenian Protocols ratification and the Minsk Process. He emphasized ‘a strong reaction’ against the protocols among ruling party MPs had to be overcome before the government would hazard a ratification effort. He warned Congressional passage of an Armenian genocide resolution would ‘complicate’ his government’s domestic political calculations regarding ratification. He said if something acceptable to Azerbaijani President Aliyev can found, then ‘we can move’ the protocols forward.”
