Turkish Dictator Erdogan Defends Armenian Genocide

Liberals call anyone they don't like Hitler, so often that we have to remind ourselves that there really are monsters out there. One of them is Turkey's strongman Recep Erdogan, who marked the remembrance day for the nearly two million Armenians butchered by the Turkish army and their auxiliaries at the end of World War I. Hitler declared in 1939 that he could kill the Jews because, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" The Armenian genocide was massively reported at the time by U.S. and other foreign diplomats and comprehensively documented by historians. Despicably, Erdogan continues to defend the first great genocide of the 20th century.

My guns, my borders.

[Okeydoker]

And this means exactly what?

And what does it have to do with this story?

[going hot]

Im zankares, im sahman

Phonetically spelled, in armenian.

Armenians who resisted, and fought, used that slogan, and still do.

[SkyDancer]

But but earlier he said that it was a myth.

How can anyone justify the Armenian Genocide?

Erdogan is a bad dude....and his brother is even worse.

Of course Erdogan defends the Armenian Genocide as, "...appropriate at that time." In fact, Erdogan, as a follower of the torturer, robber, rapist, pedophile, murderer, mohamed (PBUH perdition be upon him), Erdogan's prophet profit, I'm sure that Erdogan would feel it was appropriate at ANY time, against any and all who would opose his prophet 'profit' (PBUH perdition be upon him).

Wait a minute...

How can he “defend” something he has said “never happened” (and said more than once in the past)?

This, coming from the same man/same party, who has distributed placards and bumper stickers that show a picture of a gnarled, poisonous tree with the caption “geNOcide” in the branches, and the caption: “An Armenian LIE since 1915” woven into the roots?
