        why we invade Iraq, we might as well to invade Turkey for what they've
        done, which put Saddam's oppression looks like a child play:

        \_ So you would advocate turning the entire middle east into one
           glass-paved nuclear wasteland, punctuated only by oil wells  to
           feed the weestern industrial machine?
           \_ Not western, just American.
              \_ Sounds good to me.

Armenian officials and community groups have welcomed the decision, but it is expected to upset Turkey. Turkey accepts that thousands were killed by Ottoman Empire forces in 1915, but says figures are inflated and denies a planned genocide. Fifteen countries have now agreed to label the killings as genocide. Justice The Armenian Ambassador to Switzerland, Zograb Mnatsakanyan, told Armenian Public TV the decision was the result of hard work by the Armenian community of Switzerland, according to Armenian news agency Arminfo. The co-chairman of the Armenian-Swiss Association, Sarkis Shaginyan, said the resolution was important for the entire Armenian people. Swiss Christian Democrat MP Dominique de Buman said a vote was needed to reflect historical truth. He added that he did not want to provoke a dispute with modern Turkey that some other MPs fear could arise from the result. French row The French National Assembly's decision to recognise the killings as genocide triggered a political and economic rift with Turkey in 2001. Ankara cancelled millions of dollars worth of defence deals with French companies. Switzerland and Turkey have had good relations in the past and the Swiss used to officially refer to the killings as the "tragic events having led to the death of an extremely high number of Armenians". But a planned visit to Turkey in October by the Swiss Foreign Minister, Micheline Calmy-Rey, was cancelled by the Turks in a dispute over the Armenian issue. The Swiss vote does not demand formal recognition by the government - it simply asks for the parliament's decision to be acknowledged and transmitted to Turkey.
