(A.W.)\u2014The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the U.S. non-governmental organization self-described as \u201cthe nation\u2019s <!--more Continue reading \/ \u0531\u0574\u0562\u0578\u0572\u057b\u0568 \u2192--> premier civil rights\/human relations agency,\u201d has finally officially referred to what happened to the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire in the beginning of the 20th century as \u201cunequivocally genocide\u201d and condemned its denial, putting an end to a nearly decade-long controversy that had marred the organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat hap\u00adpened in the Ottoman Empire to the Arme\u00adni\u00adans begin\u00adning in 1915 was geno\u00adcide. The geno\u00adcide began with the rul\u00ading gov\u00adern\u00adment arrest\u00ading and exe\u00adcut\u00ading sev\u00aderal hun\u00addred Armen\u00adian intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adals. After that, Armen\u00adian fam\u00adi\u00adlies were removed from their homes and sent on death marches. The Armen\u00adian peo\u00adple were sub\u00adjected to depor\u00adta\u00adtion, expro\u00adpri\u00ada\u00adtion, abduc\u00adtion, tor\u00adture, mas\u00adsacre and starvation,\u201d wrote ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt, in an op-ed entitled, \u201cADL on the Armenian Genocide,\u201d published on May 13 on the agency\u2019s website. The statement stood in stark contrast to the ADL\u2019s 2007 statement, which caused uproar not only among Armenian communities in the United States and around the world, but also within the organization itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Greenblatt also said that his organization would support U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide. \u201cSilence is not an option,\u201d he wrote, noting the significance of educating each generation about the \u201ctragedies of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dikran Kaligian, a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ANCA_ER\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Eastern Region<\/a> board called Greenblatt\u2019s op-ed and the ADL\u2019s official affirmation of the genocide an important statement, which \u201cclearly responds to the long-standing demand of the ANCA that the ADL unequivocally affirm the historical fact of the Armenian Genocide and support formal U.S. recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cComing from the National Director of the ADL, who succeeded Abe Foxman, the statement helps erase the stain on the reputation of the ADL caused by Foxman\u2019s denialist statements and lobbying against genocide resolutions,\u201d added Kaligian, who also urged the ADL to join the growing coalition of organizations advocating for congressional resolutions for justice for the Armenian Genocide and the return of confiscated Armenian properties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a statement penned by then-ADL national director Abraham H. Foxman in August 2007, the organization said that it believed that \u201cthe consequences of those actions [of the Ottoman Empire] were indeed tantamount to genocide,\u201d a stance that many felt fell short of full recognition. Moreover, it was revealed that the ADL\u2014which, in 1913, was established to \u201cstop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all\u201d\u2014notoriously lobbied against passage of a Congressional resolution affirming the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the time, it was clear that the ADL shared the Turkish government\u2019s opposition to U.S. Congress discussing and voting on a non-binding resolution affirming the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Andrew H. Tarsy, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League New England office at the time, announced his resignation in December 2007, after months of dispute with the national organization\u2019s stance on the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of Greenblatt\u2019s statement, Tarsy told the Boston Globe that recognition was not enough. \u201cI think they ought to lead the conversation about reparations for these families,\u201d he was quoted as saying. \u201cThe recovery of assets, land, money, items, family heirlooms. Everything that Holocaust reparations\u2026 has represented should be on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the time of the ADL\u2019s 2007 statement, the ANCA asked the organization to remain true to its mission and fully acknowledge the genocide, refrain from advocating for Turkish calls for a \u201chistorical commission,\u201d and express support for U.S. recognition of the crime. The ANCA also demanded an apology from Foxman for the damage and pain the ADL\u2019s actions and statements caused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the release of the 2007 statement and similar statements in the coming years, human rights activists have continuously pressed the ADL for a full acknowledgement of the genocide. Speaking to the Armenian Weekly, No Place for Denial activist and co-founder of the Coalition to Recognize the Armenian Genocide Laura Boghosian said that when Boston-area Armenians united in the No Place for Denial campaign to fight the ADL\u2019s genocide denial in 2007, they were supported by members of the Jewish community who were disturbed by the ADL\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNotably, the rabbis and members of Lexington\u2019s Temple Isaiah and Boston\u2019s Temple Israel joined with us to create the Coalition to Recognize the Armenian Genocide, whose goals were to reverse ADL policy, educate the Jewish community about the Armenian Genocide, and pursue U.S. affirmation of the genocide,\u201d she said. \u201cNine years later, we are still working together and proving that grassroots activism does make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Coalition to Recognize the Armenian Genocide was established in 2008 to foster communication between the Armenian and Jewish communities and to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide within the Jewish community. The organization advocates for official recognition of the genocide by the United States government. Coalition members include representatives from the ANCA and the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the initial controversy in 2007, the coalition helped facilitate contacts between Armenian activists and ADL members and created an online petition calling on the U.S. Congress to recognize the Armenian Genocide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nearly seven years after his initial statement, Foxman publicly recognized that the Ottoman atrocities of the Armenian people constituted genocide, during his remarks delivered at Suffolk University Law School\u2019s commencement in 2014, though a statement was never published by the ADL confirming that this was the organization\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aram Hamparian, the executive director of the ANCA told the Boston Globe that Greenblatt\u2019s statement was the first time the ADL was very \u201cexplicit\u201d in its breaking with Turkish government\u2019s denial of the genocide. Commenting on what he called an \u201chistoric statement\u201d, Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian said that he was proud to be a part of a \u201clengthy, open dialogue\u201d with the ADL, along with the ANCA and the AAA over the years. In his statement, Koutoujian also thanked all parties who took part in the discussions with the ADL, including ADL New England regional director Robert Trestan, who he called \u201ca true friend and partner to all Armenians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released a statement in response to Greenblatt\u2019s statement, calling for U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Schiff welcomed Greenblatt\u2019s statement, noting, \u201cI have long urged ADL to take this step, and I\u2019m very grateful to see the organization come out so strongly for recognition. As an organization with a mission of fighting for human rights, justice, and tolerance, advocating for recognition of the Armenian Genocide, and speaking out against those who would deny it, is in keeping with the ADL\u2019s legacy and the proudest traditions of the Jewish faith.\u201d Schiff added, \u201cIf we hope to live in a world free from the crime of genocide, if the words \u2018never again\u2019 are to have meaning, we must be prepared to speak the truth even when it\u2019s difficult. The ADL\u2019s statement is an important step towards securing the unequivocal recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Photo: What hap\u00adpened in the Ottoman Empire to the Arme\u00adni\u00adans beginning in 1915 was geno\u00adcide,&#8217; wrote ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt (Photo: ADL)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(ARMENIAN WEEKLY) ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt\u2019s Op-Ed Welcomed by Armenian Community, Activists NEW YORK, N.Y.
