Thanks, Chad Blair, for bringing this to light. When an Armenian Genocide bill came up in the Hawaii Legislature, Senator English led the opposition, stating "What about the Genocide of the indigenous Hawaiians?" Yes, I am well aware of the decimation of the Hawaiians at the hands of Europeans and Mainland Americans. What happened to the indigenous people of Turkey ( Armenians, Syriacs and Anatolian Greeks  ) is very similar, but even more brutal. Viewing these elements as a fifth column, these peoples were rounded up, sent into the desert without food or water or killed outright in numerous ways. A situation similar to the internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry, but much more deadly. Representative Mike  Honda has stated this numerous times. Yes, the money of Turkey and Azerbaijan talks, but the results of these actions speak for themselves.
