man the US barely acknowledges what they did to the Indians let alone what happened to the Armenians, they're solution to the problem is to give them some shitty land back.

Politics. The US has bases on Turkish soil and they don't want to ruin their relationship with them. Bush will make a statement saying what happened to the Armenians was horrible, but they won't ever acknowledge that it was a genocide, just a broad statement.

The U.S. has ties with Turkey, much stronger ties than it does with Armenia. Number one, the U.S. has military bases in Turkey. Number 2, Turkey is one of the few Middle Eastern nations that cooperates with the U.S.
Why Turkey won't recognize it? because they're afraid that some people would ask for monetary reparations or giving lands back. I don't even care about reparations, i just want recognition. The fact is, Turkey won't join the European union because every country in the E.U. has to approve, and last time they voted on it, Austria declided Turkey's entry because of the denial of the Genocide
