Video Info
Description:
owing to a barrage of criticism from Jewish groups and Armenian-Americans, Anti-Defamation League Chairman Abe Foxman "revisited" the organization's stance Tuesday, announcing a new policy recognizing the 1915-1918 Turkish massacre of Armenians as "genocide."
ADL has decided to revisit the tragedy that befell the Armenians," said a statement from the group released Tuesday.
The statement went on to say that ADL officials "have come to share the view of Henry Morgenthau, Sr. that the consequences of those actions were indeed tantamount to genocide. If the word genocide had existed then, they would have called it genocide."
