Should Obama push Turkey to acknowledge the Armenian genocide?

In his speech to Turkish parliament, he alluded to the issue, but never used the word genocide. Should U.S. relations with a foreign country take precedence over the feelings of genocide survivors?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

From a moral point of view:

Yes, absolutely. I think it's important for a nation to recognize the mistakes that were made in the past.
For instance like how Truth and reconciliation Commission  in South Africa dealt with the Apartheid era

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_South_Africa#Truth_and_Reconciliation_Commission

From a pragmatic political point of view:
Maybe. Although it is the best way to screw up the diplomatic relations between the USA and Turkey and the NATO and Turkey.

Talking about a "Armenian Genocide" is highly controversial in Turkey.

I think this is a very sensitive subject, believe it or not... I have seen allot of EXTREMELY HEATED arguments (both on and off line) between conservative armenians and turkish peoples alike.

This needs to be handled very delicately. But all in all i think they should atleast recognize publicly the un humanitarian cruel and unusual deaths of Armenians.

Kind Regards,
