Oops, they did it again!

Does my memory fail me, or was there not a very emphatic statement by the Kerry campaign back in August about recognising the Armenian genocide?

Still, this from Zaman Online (Via Dhimmi Watch)has appeared.

Kerry denied claims made by the Armenian lobby in late August that he will accept the Armenian Genocide resolution. The Presidential candidate told Zaman that he contributed to Senator Robert Dole's initiatives on the subject in 1990, but said he has not made any statement that he would accept the resolution either before the upcoming elections on November 2nd or within the last 10 years. Kerry said, "Turkey is one of America's oldest allies and it will remain so.

There was some good comment by the Toronto Free Press back in September. Of course, the Armenian National Committee endorses Kerry over Bush, based on his record of supporting Armenians.

ANCA report that Kerry's team says this story is not true.

However, I'm sure if he gets in the Whitehouse he'll soon forget the promises he's made. There's no reason to suppose he'll be different than Clinton.

Still, it would be nice to see Bush out of the Whitehouse regardless.

Cheers,
