In light of Erdogan's threats to the US and warning of pending invasion of Afrin (Efrin) in Syria and destruction of Kurds there, this does relate to current news. Pattern of more of the same, without remorse.
"these documents we have found in Ottoman archive were opened to researchers by 2010"
--
Also another group of documents that give more details about the nature of the planning behind the Genocide:
“The houses of the ones who hide Armenians will be burned and they will be executed”
These make you wonder how Turkey continues to deny any of this happened, in the face of Turkish documents verifying it. (Their argument has been, the documents are not original documents, only microfilm. As if microfilm is not a valid proof)
When I see the photograph of those young Armenian women being crucified, I just feel a deep anger and revulsion towards the Turks of that era.
Good work.
This will go nowhere. Islam is a protected species and the 3 monkeys of international law will pretend nothing happened to those Armenians a century ago.
Till the late 90s I used to frequent a now closed, very large, gun store, nearby They kept an Armenian speaking salesman on staff. Americans of Armenian descent frequented the place and were extremely serious about their guns and felt blessed to be able to live in a country which allowed them to protect themselves after what their kinfolk back in Turkey had to endure.
- August
- The Turkish Nationalist and Bolshevik forces form an alliance.
- November 22
- President Woodrow Wilson presents his delineation of the borders of Armenia. A week later Armenia is partitioned by Turkish Nationalist forces and Sovietized by Russian Bolsheviks.
Anybody have the total figures on the tens of millions the Bolsheviks managed to exterminate handy?
My mother was born in 1918, and would tell me as a child (60’s) to “Eat my peas - just think of those starving Armenians!” I never understood that, and she could sort of explain it - but it came down to “I don’t know - but that is what my mother always used to tell me.”
So I just did a search, figuring that the Minneapolis area must have had a relatively large population of Armenians back when she was a child.
Found this excerpt “From 1918 through 1924, another wave of Armenian refugees made the Twin Cities home.” Armenians first arrived in Minnesota in the 1800’s - about the same time my grandmother got off the boat from Norway. But the Armenians of 1918 were obviously in dire straits - so “eat your peas”. The same article said 75% of the Armenians (Christians) were wiped out in the genocide! Even today, I believe that around the world, Christians are the most persecuted religion.
Turks are pigs.
This was the blueprint for the Jewish holocaust and Slavic extermination by Hitler.
