Simple. Our legal tradition is different from Europe, therefore our laws should reflect that. The EHRA represents European legal tradition, and their attitude to "human rights" and are not compatible with ours. If the UN adopted a Human Rights Bill and could force it on all members, do you think America would be happy to allow this new Bill to supercede their Bill of Rights? Similarly if American demographics changed significantly, the population may vote through ammendments more in line with their culture.
FTFY. Also, I'm not sure Amendments are voted by the population (but I don't know of a referendum ever happening in the US).
Turkey massacred Armenians a christian minority at the beginning of XX century and are still trying to deny it. They also were angry with Pope just because he said that.
Yeah, surely the genocide of the Armenians didn't have anything to do with the then-ongoing World War, the unfavorable results of the Balkan Wars for the Ottoman Empire, the revolution which had brought an end to religious rule in said Empire (and great turmoil), and the unsolved Armenian Question, amongst other things.
Nah, the Turks totes genocided the Armenians because they were Christians and didn't want to become Mosleems.
