The Ottoman Empire killed 1.5 million people during the First World War
Washington … News Time
US President Donald Trump’s administration says it does not consider genocide by the Turkish army during the First World War in 1915 however, a couple of days ago, a US House of Representatives, through a resolution, declared genocide of the Armenian people in a fight with the Ottoman Turkish army a genocide. But the Trump administration has expressed indifference to it, and in a way it has tried to lure Turkey. Morgan Ortagus, a spokeswoman for the US State Department, said in a statement that the administration’s position had not changed. The grief of our view is the clear statement issued by the President last April.
On the anniversary of the massacre, President Donald Trump said in a statement that the United States pays tribute to the victims of the 20th president’s worst massacre but they did not use the word genocide in this statement. Instead, he urged the Turks and Armenians to acknowledge and consider their painful history. Armenia says the Ottoman Empire killed 1.5 million people during World War I. It was intended to disperse the Christian ethnic group, while Turkey reports a small number of Armenian dead in World War I. And he also rejects the term genocide. He says the Turks were also killed in this World War.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry last week called for US Ambassador to Ankara, David Satterfield, and after the House of Representatives protested against the approval of two anti-Turkish resolutions in the Senate. One of them was the genocide of Armenian settlers in World War I a century ago, and calls for Turkey to impose sanctions on Syria. House of Representatives and the Senate overwhelmingly approved a resolution declaring the killings of Armenian people in World War I genocide. Following its approval, tensions between the US and Turkey have increased, and the Trump administration has sought to reduce that tension. The congressional resolution said it was America’s policy to officially recognize and celebrate Armenian genocide. But these resolutions are of no importance to any law passed by Congress and cannot be enforced by force like the law. And they don’t even need the president’s signature.
Remember that former US President Barack Obama had promised during the election campaign that he would accept genocide of the massacre of Armenians if elected. But after his victory, he did not use the term, and instead said that he was in a position and position before coming to the White House. It should be noted that Turkey recognizes that many Armenians were killed in World War I war with the Ottoman army. But he denies the allegations of systematically killing them in what could be termed genocide in the West. Western countries have long been calling the genocide of Armenian residents a genocide.
