President Joe Biden has done a good thing and it is important to give him credit. Under Joe Biden, the White House has finally recognized the Armenian Genocide. Too many Presidents from both parties lacked the courage and integrity to refer to the Genocide.
Joe Biden did the right thing and he deserves praise and commendation for doing so. The Turks murdered one and a half million Armenians (and two million more Greeks and Assyrians) during the First World War. In actuality, the Genocide of all these Christians originated in 1894 according to the historians Benny Morris and Dror Ze’ev, authors of the outstanding “The Thirty Year Genocide”.
Turkey up to the present remains a murderous and bloodthirsty state. Let us hope that Joe Biden’s courageous recognition of the Armenian Genocide leads to a change in foreign policy that will serve not only as the basis of his administrations foreign policy, but as the permanent policy of administrations that will follow his.
It is about time. This is a significant victory. Congratulations once more to Joe Biden for doing the right thing and to the Armenian American community who worked hard to achieve this recognition.

Trump needs to look on and take notes, he could have been the first (and only) President to recognize the Genocide, but he was enamored by Tayyip Erdogan and wouldn’t do it. Biden just schooled Donald Trump on statesmanship.
I probably won’t support Joe Biden on very many policies, he has been wrong on many others. But on this item he stood up and was counted. It is appreciated and LONG overdue.
I think Biden is wrong on pretty much everything. But on this one issue he did do something courageous that other Presidents did not.
