The Armenian Genocide

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Obviously the Armenian Genocide occurred, but we have no legitimacy to insist that Turkey admit it when we won't acknowledge our own...

IIRC we apologized for that, though I don't think we acknowledged it as a genocide. However, I don't see how that means that we can't insist Turkey acknowledge theirs. If I stab a guy and I then go off on you for stabbing another guy, I'm correct even though I'm a hypocrite.

Moral reasons aside for a moment, refusing to acknowledge an obvious historical fact is pretty stupid.

Does Congress have to issue an official statement addressing all historical facts? When can we expect a resolution acknowledging the Czarist ethnic cleansing of Circassians or the supression of the Indian rebellion?

Considering the U.S. government had been, for political reasons, pretending for years the slaughter of 1.5 million people because of their nationality was something else than "genocide", I'd say yes, that would be nice.

Could you provide a source for the U.S. government actively engaging in genocide denial, as opposed to merely not discouraging it by their ally?

I'm sure Andrew Jackson didn't consider himself genocidal.

What the Hell does that have to do with anything? Your post is a massive strawman.

Jackson committed a genocide, did he not? While the concept of genocide didn't exist at the time, I'm going to assume he didn't think what he did fit was some sort of hugely morally objectionable act, seeing as he did it.
