And if Senator Kerry or Nancy Pelosi bring this back as both have indicated I’m pretty sure it’s going to pass. And so now my defensive mechanism is okay how do we deal with the ramifications with the Turks? And the easiest way to deal with that is to say look what difference does it make to you guys it’s a resolution? Like there are resolutions passed everywhere. We’ve condemned our own genocide against the Indians slavery. I mean my state in Virginia we have these resolutions all the time. So the Turks actually make it a much bigger issue than it is. Do you want to…?

Juliette Tolay:    The only thing I’d like to [IB]. But the only thing I would like to add is Turkey has been changing quite fast in the last 10 years. And I remember the first time I went there 10 years ago like there were some really big taboo issues. And one of them was the Armenian issue the other one was the Kurdish issues. Now you could not talk about this without people getting crazy. Now it’s not the case anymore and this is quite amazing because you had a, you had like 85 years of very kind of strong state ideologies that was very much just hiding those issues. And suddenly there has been an opening. And I think it is important to recognize that and also it’s going to take time it’s not so easy even how… You know it is really linked to how people have been raised and it’s very kind of internalized in terms of the identity and everything. So it’s going to take time to change. And I think there will also need to be some form of be it kind of historical research or some kind of discussions really between the Armenian side and the Turkish side to really kind of find a way of defining it which is really acceptable for both sides.

Person:    Can I get a [follow up] from Joshua? You said made a statement about the US dictating another person’s history. How do you feel about a foreign country dictating American foreign policy?

Joshua Walker:    What, I’m confused?

Person:    The Turkish lobbies efforts to squash any mention of the Armenian genocide whether it’s state department or the ambassador saying [IB] Armenian genocide. Or just referencing it [use that] as a symbolic resolution. It has no legal binding and that seems to be prevented every year by a foreign country. So an American I’m quite upset that a foreign government…

Joshua Walker:    I mean look as both Americans we can agree on the fact that our political process is an open one and for good and for bad. So the number of lobbyists running around town who take foreign money I mean I could point my finger at every single country in the world. So of course the Turks are going to do that because they know… I mean what’s amazing to me is that the Turks took so long to figure out the game. Up until this point they’ve been hiring people that are not themselves to do this for them. Now they are actually blatantly coming to Washington themselves and trying to change the posture. I mean to me what I would, if I was to give advice to the Turkish government on how to fight the genocide resolution I would not take the tack they’ve been taking. What I would take the tack is to try to increase the Turkish American population and their interest here.
