Armenian Genocide 4-24-1915

[Prophet G]

I just thought I'd post this since the day is close. April 24, 1915, the day the Turks committed genocide on Armenians. For all those uneducated on this topic, this is a great site for any quick questions: http://www.armenian-genocide.org/genocidefaq.html
Anyhow, I just wanted to add to this topic the point that the American government are pussies. I know you assholes are corrupt, i know you lie, you steal & boss people. That's a given. But to disreguard a genocide & ignore it is a insult and is disrespect to the culture. To my culture. Now for all you imbisouls who'll search on google to prove the genocide didn't happen go screw yourselfs. Cuz i know someone's gonna do it to protect there dear 'ol uncle sam wants you country. The United States has descent relations with Turkey, if they were to accept the fact of the Armenian Genocide.. the Turks would be angry, big time. So mad, they would probably hurt the U.S. by stoppin any trade, military base, etc. It's just sad how jews can get there glory of surviving such a torture. And be respected. But we can't get the damn shit passed by the U.S.

you sound more angry at america than you do at Turkey. cause that makes sense.

the armenians have gotten their attention anyhow- maybe not in large scale but dont diss the jews for that not their fault.

Rofl, anyone that tries to say this didnt happen is a fucking idiot.

 

[one mc on dj]

I dunno who told you it did..cuz it didnt...OK the lame joke has been made...let's move on...

Yep and why do ppl always blame the jews?

 

[Illuminattile]

The debate isn't about whether or not it happened, it's about whether or not it was state-sponsored (and thus genocide).

Also, George W. Bush recognised the "genocidal campaign" against Armenians. There's was political pressure on him (and Clinton before him) to avoid using the word 'genocide'.

theres so much injustice in the world...and so much ignorance towards that injustice

it doesnt help to take it personal or get angry.... your better off putting that energy into educating people.

i understand how passionate you are about this cause tho....i feel the same way about the attrocities committed by the English government to the Irish people.

 

[kman_69]

an yeah, as for Bush recognising it...i wouldnt hold your breath..think about it, has he (or any president) ackowledged the genocide of the Native Indians?

It looks like Prophet G was on to something when he criticized the US on this issue...

Remember the Armenians
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide - considered the first mass human extermination of the 20th century and a model for Hitler's "final solution." History records that 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Turks - yet, few outside the Armenian community are aware of the slaughter.

Even more scandalous, the Republic of Turkey continues to deny that genocide occurred, much less accept the slightest bit of guilt for the horrors visited upon an entire people. For that matter, despite archives full of documentation, the U.S. government has been shamefully pusillanimous in its failure to officially declare the horror of 1915 for what it was. Not "allegedly" was, either.

At noon, Armenian-Americans will gather in Times Square to memorialize the dead and demand that Turkey, the U.S. and the UN acknowledge that the 1.5 million innocents were victims of genocide.

Anyone who believes in truth, anyone appalled by denial and by the genocides that followed - from the Holocaust to the butcheries of Rwanda and the Balkans and Darfur - is invited to join the rally. To join the declaration that crimes against humanity must not and shall not be buried by political pressure or lies or ignorance.

This needs to be brought to public light. How such a terrible crime can be almost ignored for over 80 years amazes me.

I think most of the people on this board are familiar with it. The Ottoman Turks have a pretty notorious history regarding genocides: they did much the same to the Greeks during Greece's war of independence against them.

The Bulgarian Horrors also ring a bell.

yup they were at the ports of vienna... thats why some ppl think its scary that turkey becomes into the EU
