for 70 years the armenian community in america has been organizing to make this happen at the state and federal level. they've collectively pooled hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of their lobbies. but in the end none of it mattered, because it took the war department losing control over turkey to finally make it happen.

it's impossible to not be cynical about this because there isn't a lick of integrity to be had in american government anywhere at any level.

This is like someone apologizing to you for lying to the press for years about how you killed his wife and child because you're a drunk driver, but only because they needed a story to distract people from another terrible thing they did.
