Was it genocide? Debate over Armenian killings in 1915
Molly Rossiter reports on the massacre of Armenians from 1915 to 1923, the term genocide being contested in Iowa and across the United States. Some states including Iowa reject the label, while other nations and Germany increasingly use genocide to describe the deaths. Charles Crawley, of the Inter-Religious Council of Linn County, urges Iowa to recognize the events as genocide.
