American political commentator and MSNBC host Chris Matthews revealed Turkish lobby's efforts to silence the Armenian Genocide.

During an interview with Christian Bale, Oscar Isaac, the actors of the Promise – a movie about the Armenian Genocide – he spoke about lobbying in Congress.

 “I know it [the Armenian Genocide] was a big issue in Congress when I worked there. The lobbyists worked like hell for the Turkish government to keep this quiet!” he said.
