Trump administration rejects Congress vote on Armenia 'genocide'

The Trump administration has said it does not consider the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 to be a genocide, rejecting votes in the US Congress.

Last week's Senate vote incensed Turkey, which has always denied that the killings amounted to a genocide.

Turkey's foreign ministry on Friday summoned the US ambassador to express its anger over the vote, accusing the US of "politicising history".

Armenia says 1.5 million were killed in an effort to wipe out the ethnic group.

The killings took place in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire, the forerunner of modern-day Turkey.

"The position of the administration has not changed," said State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus in a statement on Tuesday. "Our views are reflected in the president's definitive statement on this issue from last April," she said.

In a statement last April on the anniversary of the killings, Mr Trump said the US paid tribute to the victims of "one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th century", but he did not use the word genocide. Instead he encouraged Armenians and Turks to "acknowledge and reckon with their painful history".

In the wake of two votes last week in the US House and Senate to recognise the massacres as genocide - a long-awaited symbolic victory for Armenians - Turkey's authoritarian president Recip Tayyip Erdogan threatened to shut down Incirlik air base, which is based in Turkey and hosts US nuclear warheads.

Mr Erdogan also said he could close Kurecik radar base as a threat of US sanctions hung over Turkey after its recent military offensive in Syria.

He called the votes - known as simple resolutions - "worthless" and the "biggest insult" to Turkish people. Simple resolutions do not bind the president, leaving him free to ignore them.

The Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, hailed the Congress and Senate resolutions as "a bold step towards serving truth and historical justice".

A previous effort at passing the resolution through the Senate was blocked by Senator Lindsay Graham - a staunch Trump ally - at the instruction of the White House.

There is general agreement that hundreds of thousands of Armenians died when the Ottoman Turks deported them en masse from eastern Anatolia to the Syrian desert and elsewhere in 1915-16. They were killed or died from starvation or disease.

The total number of Armenian dead is disputed. Armenians say 1.5 million died. The Republic of Turkey estimates the total to be 300,000. According to the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), the death toll was more than a million.

The dispute about whether it was genocide centres on a question of premeditation - the degree to which the killings were orchestrated. Many historians, governments and the Armenian people believe they were; but some scholars have brought that into question.

Turkish officials accept that atrocities were committed but argue that there was no systematic attempt to destroy the Christian Armenian people. Turkey says many innocent Muslim Turks also died in the turmoil of war.

Mr Trump gave a warm welcome to Mr Erdogan in Washington DC last month, despite a recent invasion by Turkey of north-east Syria that targeted the Kurds - formerly US allies in the region. The invasion infuriated many US politicians and military officials and led to calls on the president to impose sanctions on Turkey.

During a meeting in Washington last month, Mr Trump said he was a "big fan" of Mr Erdogan, ignoring widespread criticism over the Turkish president's poor human rights record.

Mr Trump predecessor, Barack Obama, promised as a presidential candidate to recognise the massacres of Armenians as genocide but after his election did not use the word.

CJC‑1295 and ipamorelin are peptide hormones that work together to
stimulate growth hormone release in the body. Women who use these peptides for
therapeutic or aesthetic purposes often seek information about how
to dose them safely, what they actually are, and whether there may be side
effects that could affect their health or wellbeing.




CJC 1295 & Ipamorelin Dosage for Females



The most common dosing strategy for women involves using a
low‑dose approach because growth hormone levels naturally decline with age
but the therapeutic window remains narrow. A typical protocol might start
with a 1 µg injection of ipamorelin followed by 2 µg of CJC‑1295 (often called CJC‑1295
with DAC for sustained release) once daily, administered
in the evening or before bed to align with circadian growth hormone peaks.
Some practitioners adjust based on individual response; a typical range can be from 1–3 µg ipamorelin and 2–4 µg CJC‑1295 per injection. The total weekly dose
usually stays below 21 µg of ipamorelin and 28 µg of CJC‑1295.




Women should space injections at least 30 minutes apart to
allow each peptide to act independently before the
next one is introduced. It is advisable to cycle the peptides, for example using
them for four weeks on followed by a two‑week break.
This approach helps mitigate potential tolerance or receptor downregulation and reduces the likelihood of side effects such as edema
or excessive fat deposition.



Understanding Ipamorelin CJC 1295



Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that binds to
the ghrelin receptor, mimicking the body’s natural hunger signal.
Unlike older peptides, ipamorelin has minimal activity on prolactin and cortisol release,
which translates into fewer hormonal side effects.
CJC‑1295 is a synthetic analog of growth hormone‑releasing hormone (GHRH).
When combined with ipamorelin, CJC‑1295 amplifies the
stimulation of pituitary somatotrophs, producing a synergistic surge
in endogenous growth hormone.



The two peptides are often paired because their mechanisms complement each other.
Ipamorelin primes the receptors, while CJC‑1295 sustains the signal.
The resulting effect is a more prolonged and robust increase in circulating growth hormone levels without the high peaks that can be seen with
direct GH injections. For women, this means potential benefits
such as improved skin elasticity, increased lean body mass, better
bone density, and enhanced metabolic function while keeping side‑effect risk relatively
low.



what are the potential side effects of ipamorelin is Ipamorelin CJC 1295?




Ipamorelin CJC‑1295 refers to the combination therapy of two synthetic peptides
that stimulate growth hormone production from the
pituitary gland. The formulation typically contains a small molecule (ipamorelin) that activates ghrelin receptors and a larger peptide
(CJC‑1295) that mimics GHRH. Together they produce a sustained release of growth hormone, which can aid in anti‑aging efforts, recovery after exercise, or
management of hormonal deficiencies.



Women using this combination should be aware that while the peptides
are generally well tolerated, possible side effects may include mild injection site reactions such as redness
or swelling, transient water retention leading to a puffy appearance,
temporary headaches, or feelings of fatigue. More rare but noteworthy concerns involve an increase in blood sugar levels or insulin resistance, especially
for those with pre‑existing metabolic conditions. Long‑term use should be monitored by a healthcare
professional because growth hormone excess can potentially lead to soft tissue swelling,
joint discomfort, or changes in glucose metabolism.



In addition, the peptides are not currently approved by regulatory agencies for widespread therapeutic
use, and their quality may vary between suppliers.
Women considering CJC‑1295 and ipamorelin should therefore obtain them from reputable sources that provide sterility testing and purity verification. Regular blood panels—including fasting glucose, insulin, lipid profile, and hormone levels—can help track any physiological
changes and ensure safety throughout the treatment period.




By carefully selecting a low dose, following an appropriate injection schedule,
and monitoring for side effects, women can potentially reap the benefits of increased growth hormone production while minimizing risk.
As with all peptide therapies, professional medical guidance
is essential to tailor dosing, evaluate long‑term safety,
and address any individual health concerns that may arise during treatment.
