Res. 106?April 21, 2007 - 15:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Several Jewish groups are relaying to Congress a letter from the Turkish Jewish community advocating against the Armenian GenocideResolution (H. Res. 106). "Turks want Jewish groups to advocate against the resolution, but only one group, the Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs, has done so," an online news portal called The Global News Service of the Jewish People (JTA) reported earlier this week. It notes other Jewish groups, mindful of the history of Holocaust revisionism, do not want to deny Armenians the opportunity to commemorate their own genocide, which Israeli researchers have said was a precursor to the Holocaust. American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League and B'nai B'rith International will relay the Turkish Jewish letter to Congress later this week, but will not necessarily endorse it," JTA reported.
