Thousands of people will march through Hollywood and the Mid-City area Wednesday to mark the 104th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, again calling on Turkey — and the United States — to officially recognize that it occurred.

Turkey has refused to recognize the killings of 1.5 million Armenians beginning in 1915 as a genocide. Americans presidents also have declined to do so, calling the deaths at the hands of the Ottoman Empire an atrocity but not a genocide.

...

The Armenian genocide began in 1915 and resulted in the deaths of as many as 1.5 million Armenians in a campaign blamed on Turkey’s Ottoman government. Although the genocide has been chronicled by historians, who often view it as having been ethnic cleansing, Turkey has denied it occurred

...

More than 200,000 people of Armenian descent live in Los Angeles County, making the Southland home to the largest Armenian community outside of Armenia.

[Turkey has refused to recognize the killings of 1.5 million Armenians beginning in 1915 as a genocide]

I’m sure The Young Turks will cover this.

(someone said they deny it as well)

The Armenian genocide led directly to the Jewish genocide. Hitler saw that the Turks suffered no blow-back, and decided he could do something similar.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem played a central role in fomenting the Final Solution by trying to convince Hitler to ignore the Haavara Agreement.. preferring to destroy the Jews during a 1941 meeting in Berlin.

Who was Haj Amin al-Husseini?

A relative of Yasser Arafat as well as ally of Hassan al-Banna, originator of Hamas’ parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Grand Mufti was a moving force behind Palestinian Jew hatred, from the riots of 1920 and 1929 through the 1936-1939 bloody Arab Uprising against the Holy Land’s Jewish community, long before his WWII support of Nazi Germany.

also watch Dean Cain’s movie and all of Michael Hagopian’s films (he spent the latter part of his life tracking down Armenian survivors, filming their testimonies - all of which is at USC Shoah Foundation now). the Turks rewrote history for a time, a good reason why we can’t let the media pervert history now.

Note Huma Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood Ties... Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi..is a promoter of jihadist terror. His fatwas endorse terrorist attacks against American personnel.. a leading supporter of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch. He also runs an umbrella organization called the Union for Good .

Huma Abedin’s mother, Saleha, who is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s female division (the “Muslim Sisterhood”), is a major figure in not one but two Union for Good components.

Yet another in a long list of mass exterminations perpetrated by governments against their own newly disarmed citizens.

The Armenian Genocide illustrates that you don't need atomic bombs, gas chambers or concentration camps to commit genocide. You just need to force march the populace out into the wilderness without food or water.

After you've first disarmed them.

This is the inevitable result when muslims become a majority.
