Armenian Genocide
Posted on 09/14/2004 10:17:14 PM PDT by Ptarmigan
In 1915, Armenia was under the Ottoman Turk empire. The Turks under the Young Turks decided to kill Armenians and up to 1.5 million of them died. The Turks were Muslims, while Armenians were Christians. Many died while being deported and others were being outright murdered. Turkey to this day has not apologized or said anything about this heinous act.

That was the Armenian holocaust, except the Turks have never officially acknowledged it. It's like the Ukrainian holocaust, where estimates are put at between 5 and 10 million dead, because Stalin wiped out most records. Plus or minus 5 millions is a lot of people. The unknown holocausts, with no TV movies, no History Channel reports...
