April 22 - Turkey's Denial on the Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide; The Former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on the Unexplained Saudi Role in 9/11

We begin with the attempt by Turkey’s Prime Minister to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of the Armenian genocide while still strenuously denying that the genocide took place and calling the Pope part of an “evil front” for using the term. David Phillips, the Director of the Peace-Building and Rights Program at the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University, who headed up diplomatic efforts at reconciliation between Turkey and Armenia known as the Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Commission, joins us to discuss a major reversal by Turkey’s top trading partner in Europe, Germany, who is now joining France, the European parliament and Pope Francis in calling what happened to the Armenians in 1915 genocide.

Part 2

Then we examine unexplored avenues of inquiry into the untold story leading up to 9/11 and its aftermath, in particular the role of Saudi Arabia since 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. Senator Bob Graham, the former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the co-chairman of the 2002 joint congressional inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, joins us to discuss his push for the disclosure of the 28 pages of the congressional inquiry that remain classified and the extraordinary coincidences involving meetings between Saudi officials and the hijackers in San Diego and ties between the hijackers and a Saudi family in Sarasota, Florida who abruptly left the U.S. under suspicious circumstances just before 9/11.
