who remembers the armenian genocide?...
no one. no one remembers and no one cares that hitler was not the first to attempt genocide. he said it himself, before sending his soldiers into poland: "after all, who remembers the armenians today?" on april 24, 1915, all of the armenian politicians, leaders, great thinkers etc were murdered - not executed, because executed implies that they were enemies of the state, either for crimes or because of a dictatorial government. neither was the case. it was a murder, the first steps by turks to extinguish the whole of the armenian race, the first attempted genocide in recorded history, and yet forgotten by so many. to this day the turkish government still denies it and works to supress literature and media focusing on the tragedy. next year, remember the genocide, and stand with the armenians in their time of grief.
