Whether Frantz killed the story or not on the basis that Mark claims, I can't say. But, Arax is a hack journalist who has written some ridiculous articles in the past, and his own roots are DEEP in the Armenian communities of Central California where he is from. Frankly, he suffers from exactly the same "conflict of interest" (for lack of a better description) as he attributes to Frantz. Arax is completely incapable of writing about the Armenian genocide any more objectively than he claims Frantz is with respect to the Turks. Patterico — I happen to know a lot about Mark Arax.
