Ninety years ago today, the Ottoman Turkish government waged a war of

terror on Armenian culture through the brutal deportation,

imprisonment and decimation of men, women and children of Armenian

descent. By 1923, the Ottoman Empire had dissolved, but its monstrous

attempt at ethnic cleansing left more than 1.5 million Armenians

massacred and 500,000 survivors forcibly exiled from their ancestral

homeland. To this day, Turkey has not admitted that there was, in

fact, a Genocide.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Boy, is this one OT item I was happy to find. I'm studying genocide

prevention as part of my master's and the amount of people that seem

oblivious to the fact that the Armenian genocide took place 90 years

ago this week is shocking.
