Reading some Russian Revolution history and note that Armenians were pro-Allies at the end of WWII and the Communists gobbled them up like a tasty snack as they ate the Ukraine, western Poland, White Russia etc etc.
They then had 75 years of hell. Hope they can rid themselves of the old Soviet leaning connections.
Kc Burke, it should not be taken for granted that the momentous events of last month took place the week of “Armenian Genocide” Rememberance Day. The journey of the Armenian people: what they endured at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, and their subsequent occupation by the Soviets - is nothing short of heroic.
They still remain in the midst of de-communization: including rediscovery and re-appreciation of their language, recovering their Christianity, changing things like street names named for Soviet icons like Lenin back to original ones named for their saints, monks, and martyrs. Etc...
