To the memory od Armenian Genocide

"The Armenian Genocide was the worst crime of World War I"-Theodore RooseveltThe Armenian Genocide is a term which refers to the forced mass evacuation and related deaths of hundreds of thousands or over a million Armenians , during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Empire . Several facts in connection with the event are a matter of ongoing dispute between parts of the international community and Turkey . Although it is generally agreed that events said to comprise what is termed the Armenian Genocide did occur, the Turkish government rejects that it was genocide , on the alleged basis that the deaths among the Armenians were not a result of a state-sponsored plan of mass extermination, but of inter-ethnic strife, disease and famine during the turmoil of World War I .Despite this thesis, most Armenian, Russian, Western, and an increasing number of Turkish scholars believe that the massacres were a case of genocide. For example, most Western sources point to the sheer scale of the death toll . The event is also said to be the second-most studied case of genocide, and often draws comparison with the Holocaust. To date 24 countries have officially recognized and accepted its authenticity as Genocide.Each April 24th (Armenian Genocide Commemoration Holiday) hundreds of thousands of people walk to the genocide monument and lay flowers (usually red carnations or tulips) around the eternal flame. Armenians around the world mark the genocide in different ways, and many memorials have been built in Armenian Diaspora communities.

  • Hello ,well I always feel very depressed when I read this kind of things,but it's human nature ,it's sad to know that the today leaders of the world have not learned anything, the same is hapenned now in many places around the world ,I hope there will be a time in this earth without frontiers ,races and religions until that we need people like you to remember the truth and not to repeat the same.
  • Sorry!
    I've made a small mistake in error, as it should be 'it's inevitable' not 'it's evitalble' on the very last sentence.
  • Hi, Mari!

    You don't need to argue with those who are opposite against the truth, because the history doesn't exist on its own but God has been working in history, as the history itself proves the truth.

    If I were her, I wouldn't dare to do so, but I just feel that it's just a pity & shameful for her own country, as there was no reason to say such words to anybody, although she didn't like to hear what she really disliked or disagree with. This reaction from her would have just proved the truth itself, more in a reverse way & principle. When someone angrily shouts back by something as it’s because he/she doesn't like or hate, this shouting reaction has some reasons, such as it might be because of feeling a guilty, or just disliking with no reason, or just hating the person (who is opposite against each other) as others hate without any specific reasons.

    If you look at the Korea & Japan in history, you could see the worst things you never ever possibly imagine yourself this day, and learn the identical similarities as all the dictators dominated their neighbours and did many cruel things in history, even now North Korea does the same thing by the great dictator. In history Japanese invaded Korea in 1910 and dominated until 1945, what they had done to Koreans (especially the Korean Christians; Church Ministers or devoted believers), firstly required to worship the Japanese Emperor (if you not, immediately head off by their Samurai), they killed so many innocent people (which they denied same as others), they tried to get rid of our Korean Language by banning to speak in Korean as well as they taught all the children only in Japanese at school, and all young boys & men (whether young & old, if they were capable of holding the guns or being able to walk, they had no other choice but to serve for the Japan) had to serve for their armies in sending to the front of the War as a human bomb after the training of brainwashing for the war obeying only for Japan (the Emperor), as the results there were uncountable deaths, even many of the lived people during the war couldn’t come back. There are many more to write, but I think it’s more than enough. However, the main point I am making after all is that they denied but they couldn’t hide their history & our history, and the truth in history itself tells the whole world gradually for their cruelty, genocide activities & war crimes, as once the Japanese Emperor bowed down for those who were innocent and died during the invading period & the war, but we don’t hate them anymore (except those who are still alive as they were once suffered physically & emotionally during the war) because they are now our neighbours, and we accept them as who they are now, although we are still trying to prove the certain things in history by the scholars as it’s evitable, humanly speaking.
  • Thank you very much, dear Ngo tan dinh for your condolences...
  • Poor arguments just to justify you even anyway,to be protected, but can't you undersatnd that there is NO justification,the only thing left to say " The truth prick your eyes?"
    You says it's nonsense?? maybe the killing of innocent people,even babies,children,and olds, in order to destroy,delete a whole nation is a nonsense for you...It's your opinion, But the truth is ONE and ONLY, you can't delete it from the bloody pages of your history and you can't delete it from the memory of few people who stayed alive...Crime stayes CRIME
    I'm teling it everybody lie,...What??? You want to tell me that your poor justification is Truth?? hmmm ..You will have no result, because at first of all GOD knows the truth and what can u tell about 24 countries who accepted the truth and know it? Hnn?? Go and try to argue with them too,what are u waiting for?
    You know,there are many people in your country that accept the truth,many youth and scientists,because they are not responsible for the mistakes and crime of their government, so u must too, even for the fact to be clear behind your conscience.
    The truth is ONE, and It's A CRIME, and if you can not accept it It's another side of question,and It's your Problem, but don't try impose people The lie ,Your Subjective opinion which is a result of trying be justificated,
    I'm agree, there are so many sourses of Information,where is the truth,and u try to lie to people....??
    1,5 milion innocent people killed for nothing , what they did? And You says it's NONsense,...Be afraid Of GOD, and clear behind your conscience...
  • Thank u very much my dear friends,James and Anand,for understanding,attentiveness and sentiments...Right,sometimes words can never express what you feel actually...
    Dear Seda thank u very much for helping me,your information makes my blog accomplished,..It's our debt,..it's the minor thing that we can do for our nation, to inform people...
  • Hello, my friend!

    Thanks for your invitation and sharing a sad history of your country with us!

    Please accept my sincere condolences especially for the Armenian Genocide (24APR2010).

    Since I've known you as my friend, actually & honestly I didn't know, but newly I've learned three things from you so far; of Armenia (geographical location), Christianity Survival and some of Armenian History (including this sadest one).
