The local contingent in my town wants us to lower U. S. Flags and raise the Armenian flag on one day per year in observance of this.
I detest what took place with the holocaust also, but I don’t wish to lower our flags and raise Jewish flag of sorts once per year.
I am sorry for whatever took place in their old homeland. It grates me when folks come here and try to get our nation to adopt their former nation’s angst/agenda.
Every year this issue is raised by the locals and they demand some form of recognition.
If this is reasoned, then I suppose we should adopt every single issue that people of different nations have around the world, and designate a day in remembrance. That should leave about one weekend a year for purely American agenda remembrances.
Ah, no thanks...
The Armenian Holocaust has direct a direct relationship to the threats the West is facing here and abroad from Fascist Orthodox Muslim.
Anything which draws attention to what happened to ANY non-Muslim group at the hands of Islam has my support.
I don’t believe the American Flag should be taken down - rather it should be flown at half mast with an Armenian Flag flown beneath it.
