Today, April 24, marks the “Great Crime,” that is, the genocide of Christians—mostly Armenians but also Assyrians—that took place under the Islamic Ottoman Empire throughout World War I. Then, the Turks liquidated approximately 1.5 million Armenians and 300,000 Assyrians.
Most objective American historians who have studied the question unequivocally agree that it was a deliberate, calculated genocide:
More than one million Armenians perished as the result of execution, starvation, disease, the harsh environment, and physical abuse. A people who lived in eastern Turkey for nearly 3,000 years [more than double the amount of time the invading Islamic Turks had occupied Anatolia, now known as “Turkey”] lost its homeland and was profoundly decimated in the first large-scale genocide of the twentieth century. At the beginning of 1915 there were some two million Armenians within Turkey; today there are fewer than 60,000…. Despite the vast amount of evidence that points to the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide, eyewitness accounts, official archives, photographic evidence, the reports of diplomats, and the testimony of survivors, denial of the Armenian Genocide by successive regimes in Turkey has gone on from 1915 to the present.

The Muzzies haven’t changed one bit. Omar would probably gladly do that to us.
Welcome to francischurch.
My family got out mid 1890s. From what I have read, there were not many Armenians left in their province come the 1920s. Most had either fled or were killed.
Turks in present day Turkey actually originated in what is now Kazakhstan. They invaded Christian and Greek-speaking Anatolia with accompanying Muslim slaughter beginning around the 10th century.
The Armenian slaughter was more of the same, except mass media recorded many details.
Ask Hindus about the blood lust of Islam!
The Muslims have been at this for almost 1400 years.
Apparently the USA has never officially acknowledged this.
As a kid, my mom would always tell me to eat my peas “Just think of all those poor Armenians that would love to have your peas.” It was only a few years ago that I looked into that.
I’m guessing that is what her mother told her when she was a little child. Minnesota had a large influx of Armenian refugees from 1918 - 1924 - mom was born in 1918.
That is why many Americans own guns .
