Armenians are stronger than ever, but yet Bush chooses to nominate an individual who apparently doesn't believe that the word "Genocide" is appropriate to describe what was in fact a genocide.
The U.S. Senate has effectively declined to approve Richard Hoagland, President George W. Bush's pick for ambassador to Yerevan, who has been condemned by U.S. Armenian groups for refusing to characterize last century's Armenian killings in the Ottoman Empire as genocide.
But in any case, U.S. Armenian leaders have made clear that they and their backers in the Senate are determined to block any "genocide denier" as U.S. envoy to Armenia.
Armenian groups have made it clear that they will press for the passage of at least one genocide recognition resolution in Congress before April 24, designated by U.S. presidents as the day of remembrance of the Armenian killings.

In unrelated news, the animal rights lobby has declared a lawsuit against Dick Hoagland for using apparently furry animals as unfashionable wigs.
