Remembering the Armenian Genocide
Posted by N10452The Armenian genocide is a crime against humanity and against Armenians specifically, and we cannot but condemn it one year after the other and hope that Turkey will get punished for it. Keep in mind that Lebanese Christians were also victims as well as Christians Syriacs in the Middle East region in countries that were under the Ottoman rule.
Till today, only 22 countries recognize the genocide.
Here is a video published by Beith Suryoyo group on facebook on the massacres committed back in 1914-1915.

Thank you for the post N
Hopefully more and more people will stop denying the Armenian genocide.
Such a crime shouldn’t happen to anyone.
Its sad to see some countries are not admiting the genocide (such as USA)because of the relation (allies) with Turkey.

N,
As an Armenian I would like to thank you for your thought and integrity in posting the 93 remembrance of the first genocide of the 20th century. You run your website with honor and a neutral environment. Thanks again!

As an aside,
Lebanon being part of the 22 countries recogn. genocide is a rare instance of Lebanon being on the right and courageous side of an important issue.
And that’s only because of our large Armenian community, rather than because of any vision or courage by our bankrupt “leaders”.
8. Patrick | April 26th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Looks likes everyone took care of C.R. already, so I don’t need to add anything.
Listen, I wish that everyone knew as much about the Armenian (and let’s not forget Assyrian) genocide(s).
But instead of complaining that very few people know anything about it, and lamenting the fact that the whole world knows what happened to the Jews, Armenians (and Assyrians) should
1) Recognize that what happened to them in Turkey is not unlike a hundred other examples of 20th and 21st century genocide, whereas what happened in the Holocaust was unlike anything the world had ever seen before. Moreover, the Jews have a long history of living in Western lands, of doing business in the West, of participating in Western governments, they have a longer and broader relationship with Western societies, most live in the West and know the people there, etc. Given *all* these things (and more), I think it is understandable that the West (and consequently the world.. not only through Western influence, but also because no one mentions the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without mentioning the Holocaust) knows more about the Holocaust than about anything that happened to Armenians or Assyrians.
And 2) Instead of complaining about it, just recognize these things and work all the harder, and make the facts about the Armenian and Assyrian genocides known to the world anyway. The Jews are organized. Everyone knows this. So instead of complaining that they are influential, just do what they do. Armenians can organize. Assyrians can organize. Christians all over the Middle East can organize. So why don’t we see more of that? Stop complaining that the Jews know how to make their voice heard.
9. Arze | April 27th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Btw….history has shown more and more that Jews were behind the Armenian Genocide and its been planned dozens of years before …against all christians in the middle east ! it started with the Armenians and stopped there !
10. Patrick | April 27th, 2008 at 8:59 am
not worth responding to.
11. Michele | April 27th, 2008 at 9:40 am

13. Assyrian Christian | April 27th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
It’s very un fortunate that for the longest time the Armenians weren’t willing to recognize that there were other Christians who were killed with them and they wanted just like some Jews to say that the Holocaust was only theirs when history shows that during WWII many Christians in Europe specially Polish Christians were massacred by Nazi German soldiers for helping Jews.Today, there are scholars who recognize that fact.
Back to the 1915-1918 Genocide which is known to the Assyrians as Seypa/Seyfo(The Sword) whereby close to 800.000 Assyrian Christians of all Church denominations were massacred and driven out of their lands in southeast Turkey at the hands of Ottoman Turks and Kurdish tribes, and as mentioned the Armenians weren’t willing to recognize the fact that Assyrians and Pontic Greeks were also massacred during that time and that is why the numbers of Assyrians dwindled in that area.
Only in recent years and due to efforts by Assyrians who worked on recognizing the Genocide that some Armenian scholars began to support and recognize that Armenians weren’t the only targetted people.
Assyrians and till today always remember how the survivors say that when the slaughtering began, the murderers used to say “there is no difference between a red and a white onion…After all it is an onion” (meaning the Christians in general).
As an Assyrian whose grand-parents survived those horrible times only to be yet again faced with another massacre which was the first of the 20th century in the Assyrian village of Simel(North Iraq) on August 07, 1933,when over 5000 un-armed Assyrian elderly,children,women and men were massacred,it seems to us that the chain of systematic annihilation against our people isn’t ending as they continue to suffer while their ancestral lands are under foreign control.
We hope that the voice of those who lost their voices when they were slaughtered will be heard loudly so that the international community will finally recognize that there is an indigenous people who is looking for justice and peace,but when will that happen remains obscured.

Arze im half Armenian and if armenians heard what u are saying they will laugh there asses of so your telling us that Isrealis done or helped with the armenians genocide while after WW2 the holocaust happend?

15. Tony|ouwet | April 27th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

16. Force Unity | April 28th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
the question here is DOUBLE :
1- why is the USA - which is BARKING day and night abour HUMAN RIGHTS , FEREEDOM , LIBERTY and ETHICS - DO NOT RECOGNIZE this genocides the same it DOEs with the WW II one ( which included polish ,SERBIANs and others ) but instead have TURKEY as an STRATEGICALK ALLY ??
the same goes to the jewish state , they bark all day about genocides and they have a STRATEGICAL alliance with the TURKS genociders –.
2- the Armenian are so stupid in following the jewish steps in NOT RECOGNIZING that also ASSYRIAN /SYRIACS and GREKS were massacred in 1915 and before ..
do they think themselves an EXTRA RACE or VEY CLEVER etnity ?????????????
regards
why this genocide is called ARMENIAn and NOt CHRISTIANS due to the
17. Tony|ouwet | April 28th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
1- im with you in the usa thing couple of people got fired from the white house congress when they refered to armenia as a genocide the genocide word got them fired im with you just because they are allies they are not admiting it and that usa has lots of army bases in turkey they have lots of supplies going forward and back through the bases a day thats there exuse its not time to say about the genocide thats what one of the members in the white house congress said which she got fired because of saying it was a genocide search it on youtube.
2- you have to take in concederation there are lots of armenians living in isreal.
3- no not an extra race but there is a huge diffrence at the number that got murdered 200 000 assyrians and 700 000 greek’s but 1.5 million Armenians take that number into consederation.
Assyrians and armenians allways remain close friends
Its called armenian genocide because 1 they where armenians thats why they got murdered because they where christian.
Take into consederation armenians are the first christians ever the first church was built in armenia and noahs arc is in mount ararat which is in armenia but stolen from the turks.
18. Tony|ouwet | April 28th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
And let me add
Israel and Denmark believe that the genocide recognition should be discussed by historians not politicians.
But the usa calles this chrime a massacre not a genocide they just want to keep in good with the dam turks.
And remember there is 40 states in america who recognise the armenian genocide but the whitehouse doesnt!!!
19. fiorce unity | April 29th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
to TONY
some of your posting are quite naives :
1- the USA has NO ethics No Moral principles..it is like a big vampire always looking to drink others peopel Blood .
for the USA turkey si a strategical ally in its war against RUSSIA —–
and consequently will neve geopardize this alliance.
2- you have to take in concederation there are lots of armenians living in isreal.
HOW mnay armenians live in israel ??
i knwo many armenians and they all HATE JEWS…
but thsi is not the question , the question uis that israel has a STRATEGICAL ALLIANCE with TURKEY while at same time BARKs all day about the WWIi war and genocides ..
3-)((( no not an extra race but there is a huge diffrence at the number that got murdered 200 000 assyrians and 700 000 greek’s but 1.5 million Armenians take that number into consederation.))
where did you got your number from ??
the masscared assyrian people is 750000 ( assyrian syriac achaldenaen massacred)- almost two THIRD of the entire race plus those STARVED to death in lebanon .
YES I TRULY BELIEVE that ARMENIANs think themselves as a MORE CLEVER or BETTER RACE …
(Assyrians and armenians allways remain close friends )
show me something to believe you .
INCLUDE ASSYRIANS and GREEK in you TITLE …
((Its called armenian genocide because 1 they where armenians thats why they got murdered because they where christian.))
BIG LIE
it is an armenian PROPAGANDA
THE ARMENIAN are SO STUPID that they GAVE the TURKS an EXCUSE to start their GENOCIDE against all CHRISTIANS of small asia..
do you want to knwo why ?????
(((o consederation armenians are the first christians ever the first church was built in armenia and noahs arc is in mount ararat which is in armenia but stolen from the turks.))
thsi si another BIFG LIES that shows what your HIGHER RACE thinking is …
((Israel and Denmark believe that the genocide recognition should be discussed by historians not politicians.))
would israel apply the same CRITERIA on its GENOCIDE ??????????????”’
many historian DISCUSS and do not accept the 6 million jews killed title ..
((But the usa calles this chrime a massacre not a genocide they just want to keep in good with the dam turks.))
the USA itself is based on a GENOCIDES of Native INDIANS ..
do you expect from them to talk JUSTICE , HUMAN RIGHTS , etchics etcc…
(((And remember there is 40 states in america who recognise the armenian genocide but the whitehouse doesnt!!!))
Reda again my opinion about the USA
regards

Arze,
You seem to be obsessed with the Jews.
We are only twelve million people you know.
Get a sense of proportion.
Take up a new hobby or travel or go and see a funny movie. Be careful to choose one that is Judenfrei.

Look read that bible noahs arc landed on mount ararat please tell me where mount ararat is located.
And yes the first church was built in Armenia this is not new news!!!!
so ure denying that mount ararat isnt stolen from the armenians???
Im with you in the USA thing but take to fact USA is federalism and each state has its on laws and 40 states recognize the genocide.
And Armenia is allied with Russia where u think all armenians weapons are from where u think armenian army get trained from.
Where you think armenia get there jet fighters from and helicopter fighters??
I dont see why u are denying noahs arc and mount ararat and the christian faith in armenia are you against Armenia or something?
22. Arze | April 30th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Sonia …The reason is because you are 20 million in the world…and in order to survive u have to divide…in order to concquer
i wish lebanese would learn from you ….
anyways …
“…All this according to the percepts of the Talmud, the Satanic Bible of the Jews, which encourages Jews to kill, directly or indirectly, by sayings like: “Every Jew who spills the blood of the godless, is doing the same as making a sacrifice to God.” Talmud: Bammidber Raba c21 & Jalkut 772. In the eyes of Talmudists all non-Jews are godless. And “It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah. The Christians belong to the denying ones of the Torah.” Talmud: Coschen Hamischpat, Hagah 425. Very neatly put sentence indeed.
Jesus came and shed his blood for us in order to save humanity and put an end to human and animal sacrifices practiced by Talmudist Jews who believe that the shedding of the blood of the innocents is a prerequisite of their reptilian gods, specially before embarking on an enterprise. “
23. Tony|ouwet | May 1st, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Arze Religeons before christ where all like that.
Put in fact the mayans use to behead and throw the heart fora week thousands of people died like this a week for the blood for the gods
even Before jews but take a fact jews are the oldest reliogeon now.
If you want to put all the verses who has these type of stuff why didnt you put other religoen such Islam or Druze??
24. SONIA LEVY | May 2nd, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Arze,
Have you forgotten about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition?
It is my opinion that you are too young to waste your life by nuturing a blind hatred such as yours.
