Fried opposed the recognition of the Armenian Genocide during the U. S. Congressional hearings in March 2007 . He stated that the Congressional resolution " would undercut those voices emerging in Turkey who call for a truthful exploration of those events in pursuit of Turkey ’s reconciliation with its own past , and with Armenia , " and added , " Our fear is that passage of any such resolution would close minds and harden hearts . " In mid-2008 , reporter Helene Cooper of '' The New York Times '' wrote that an anonymous administration official described Fried as a foreign policy " hawk " on the issue of whether the U.S. should give military aid to the nation of Georgia in its territorial dispute with Russia
