AS THE GOOD LORD SAID: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF! UNLESS HE'S TURKISH! IN WHICH CASE, KILL THE BASTARD!! HA! HA!!

One of the little know facts of the Armenian and Greek genocide by the Ottoman Empire prior to, during and after WW-1 was that it was Muslims going after mostly Christians and either killing the men outright, enslaving the women and children if they were allowed to live, or sending people to dessert work Camps to die. Kind of fascinating that many of those death camp locations are in modern Syria, where people can remember atrocities being committed against their grandparents.

P.S. This was all lead by a group called “the Young Turks” so you can see why they might be sensitive with their chosen name.

Audio quality is poor, did not see Cenk? Not sure who the panelists were.

That was a meltdown? The woman slightly raised your voice for five to seven seconds at the end! I want my three minutes back it.

The Armenian genocide was not entirely relevant once the Ottoman Empire was formally disassembled and the Republic was proclaimed though it would have been far better overall if Mustafa had decried the genocide and made at least token restitution. With the ongoing resurrection of the Empire the Armenian Genocide is totally relevant again.

...or sending people to dessert work Camps to die.

Death by chocolate?

The movie The Promise does a good job of showing this.
