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.

Well, they were merely Christians so............
Mrs rktman went to Armenia not longer after the collapse of the USSR to help teach economics and capitalism. She had only ever been to the Bahamas prior to that. Quite an eye opener. Lucky for her, her bosses husband is Armenian and he went with them.

2) And anyway, they deserved it.

"No group or state has been able to prove their claims on the Armenian issue", says Erdogan.

You’d think that the Turks would want to take the heat off of themselves by saying words to the effect that, “What was done then - several generations ago - was during a time of war, but we today recognize that it was wrong. Turkey will never do anything of the sort today or in the future. Note, however, that modern Turkey and its people are not responsible for what happened 100 years ago...we are sorry for what our great grandparents did, but not responsible for it in any way.

Obama LOVED Erdogan. Obama said that Erdogan was the very first person that he called in a crisis. Both were/are protectors of Islam, so it figures.

Genocide can never be okay! Only a fool would attempt to say it was.
To: Ancesthntr
This was what I always wondered when I was a visiting professor in Turkey. Why don't they admit it happened, acknowledge that it was wrong, and say they don't act like that any longer? But whenever the subject came up, they danced around it.

I wouldnt mind some people doing something to Erdogan.
To: JoeFromSidney
I think that must be some kind of FR record.
Anyway, the difference between the Armenian genocide
and the Nazi genocide of the jews is that the Nazis
were the first to industrialize the process.
The Turks slaughter was on a personal basis and much more
of the populace was involved in the physical killing.
I remember reading of several accounts in which whole
churches of Armenian refugees were slaughtered/shot
or had their throats cut.
