I may be wrong, but in UN SC American representative vetoed the resolution cincerning genocide of Armenians. Wasn't it so? IIRC there were two countries against that resolution, US and Turkey.
Maybe it's because Armenia is now a strong ally of Russia and Iran in Trans-Caucasus? US supports Turkish nations there, Turkey is already a NATO member, and Azerbaijan works with American corporations, declaring that they want to become a NATO member too (North Atlantic my ass! Why not Antarctic Liberation Front?)...
It's interesting that Iran supported Armenia in a war of early-90s...
And as far as I understood - a resolution about Armenian Genocide wasn't passed by US Congress in July, am I wrong? Searching the news in Russian about it now.
About Israel denying 1915 genocide - it's an official position of their government, while some Israeli religious leaders admit it and compare it to Holocaust. This story very well shows that political issues prevail in some cases, and 99% of Western talks about "human rights" is plain hypocricy.
