Children victims of the Armenian Genocide
According to ancient tradition, Noah's Ark rested on Mount Ararat in the Armenian mountain range. Armenia's coat of arms has Mount Ararat with Noah's Ark on top.
Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi (410-490 A.D.) recounted the tradition that Noah's son Japheth had a descendant named Hayk who shot an arrow in a battle near Lake Van c.2,500 B.C., killing Nimrod, builder of the Tower of Babel who was the first powerful tyrant of the ancient world. Hayk is the origin of "Hayastan," the Armenian name for Armenia.
Ancient Armenians may have had some relations with the Hittites and Hurrians, who inhabited that area known as Anatolia in the 2nd millenium B.C.
On Aug. 29, 2014, the California Senate unanimously passed the Armenian Genocide Education Act mandating that among the human rights subjects covered in public schools, instruction shall be made of the genocide committed in Armenia at the beginning of the 20th century.

Sounds like genocide by Jihad.
Kinda weird huh. Muzzies killing Christians. When did that ever NOT happen. Of course Christians killing muzzies happens too. But then, their approach to “requesting” you to convert is a little more radical than the Christian approach.
P.S. Mrs. rktman when to Armenia no long after the Russians pulled out to help teach economics and free enterprise. Eye opening would be an understatement. Her first trip outside the U.S. was uh, memorable.
Funny we were never taught this in school!
LOL! If you care to think about a lot of things we were “taught” in school, and then think about what you’ve learned since, what we were “taught” in the mid 60’s was not always the real thing.
I was somewhat amazed to see Conan O’Brien just a couple of weeks ago, acknowledge the Armenian genocide. He went to Armenia with one of his staffers, whose family is from there. There was the usual goofiness, but at the end of the show, they went to a memorial to those who died during the genocide. There was a long wall with the names of all of the towns and villages that were destroyed. It was very emotional. They put a graphic up about the genocide and O’Brien named the Ottoman Empire as the perpetrators of it.
Adolf Hitler learned a thing or two about mass killings from the muslims and the Armenian Genocide in particular.
Absolutely true.
That was truly early.
On Christmas I was at some friend’s house and his Armenian parents were there. His dad was talking about his brother’s wife and children being killed by the Muslims, poor guy was crying. Then he told me about going to Russia and treatment under the KGB. The family came to America in 1990 and are so grateful.
“Who remembers the Armenians?” Adolph Hitler
When I was teaching in Turkey, in 1999, I took advantage of a school holiday to take a trip to Armenia. This was the first foray into Armenia for the tour company I dealt with, following the "fall" of the USSR. Guards at the Turkish-Armenian border were still Russian, and there was a Mig-17 in the city park, but all the signs were in Armenian, not Russian. Likewise my visa was in Armenian. Very interesting trip.
