Bush and the Armenian genocide

Why does Bush deny the Armenian genocide?

Could it be because he is participating in it?

From yesterday's Guardian:

President George Bush today urged members of Congress to reject a congressional resolution recognising the killings of Armenians in 1915 as "genocide", warning that it would damage US relations with Turkey.

From todays TimesOnline:

Three Christian sisters, beating their mother’s coffin in grief, wailed and hugged each other at her funeral in Baghdad yesterday as their rapidly shrinking religious community vented anger at the foreign security guards who killed her.
