Richard Falk's Forward to book on the Armenian genocide
'Slowly, yet with increasing authoritativeness, the reality of the Turkish genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people has come to be accepted as established, incontrovertible historical fact...What remains sadly evident, as was the case after World War I, is the low priority that leading governments attach to stopping genocide unless their strategic interests are centrally engaged... only the pressures of an aroused and informed public opinion might someday make opposition to genocide a priority of governments and an imperative warranting UN legitimacy.'
