The House Democratic leadership also backed down last week from its determination to bring a resolution condemning the Turkish government's massacre of Armenians in 1915-16. The Turkish government took umbrage at this, and its parliament voted to authorize military action in Iraq's Kurdish provinces against anti-Turkish Kurdish guerrillas — a nightmare scenario in the one part of Iraq that has been consistently peaceful and pro-American since 2003.

It is a lie to tie the Armenian genocide vote to Turkey's problems with the PKK and their parliment's approval of an invasion of Iraq. You should retract this.
