It is shameful the Government failed to commemorate genocide

Yesterday I attended the commemoration in Dublin of the Armenian genocide. An Taoiseach Enda Kenny declined an invitation to attend. 

There were no Irish Government representatives. It seems the Irish Government does not want to upset the Turkish Government who have been denying the Armenian genocide for 100 years.

Ireland does far more trade with Turkey than with Armenia. Turkey is an important member of NATO, and our government does not want to offend the US, NATO’s overlord.
