hey guys.. April 24th is the annual memorial day for the systematic killings of over 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 by Turkey who to this day denies the genocide...

being Armenian makes this a sensitive and important time to me...

I just wanna spread awareness of this genocide... so alot of you dont even know what an Armenian is.. take the time to familiarize yourselves with it.. read up on the genocide.. that way u can make an informed decision if ever the time comes that you can take a political stance about the matter...

heres a good place to start

Armenian Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


thanks for your time

from what i understand they did that without kim's knowledge... she was outraged from what the news said..

whatever, i dont even consider kim kardashian armenian in the first place..
 
I can partially relate. My girlfriends grandmother was "relocated" when she was a child from Armenia and walked across the mountains for several days under solders eyes and then inserted into a Turkish family to become Turkish. So my girlfriend is quarter Armenian.
 
3J,

I of 3 my degree s is history...emphasis 20 th century/miltary.

I m very familiar with what occured to your people prior to ww1 and that Turkey is allowed to keep thmselves out of the limelight on this matter is no mystery to me.

Armenian s were rounded up in concentration camp s and shot and starved , villages wiped out and off the map. These were lessons well learned from the British in the Boer war in S. Afrika.

Given today s mindset of righting the wrong s of the past ( I m a victim..wheres my check ) by forcing us in the present to pay (ie EEO and Affirmitive Action in this country, my german family and fatherland still paying the country of Israel reperations) it would only seem just (whatever that means nowadays) that Turkey be held accountable if not down right culpable and forced to at least acknowledge this fact.

And upon that being established forced to pay towards assisitng your homeland through either better trade and/or, if we use the Hebrew Holocaust as precedent forced to pay for ever..like we do.

Kim Card. is a piece of crap, wannabe celebrity.

I would not go near that petre dish bush without an oxygen source, wet suit, body armour and a kevlar condom.

its very sad.. but they more then likely did her grandmother a favor.. turkish families who were against the genocide would adopt armenian children to keep them safe.. but this lead to conversion to islam and a loss of identity...

great post T!
 
I personally have thought for a while that US and the West struck some sort of a very secret deal or a pack that would allow Turkey to get away with this and instead Turkey under Mustafa Atatürk become modern, i.e they banned the old nationalist hats, started wearing western cloths, etc, etc. And are now obviously a vital military ally to the West. Nothing happens in the middle east with out at least checking with the Turks first. Second largest army in NATO, US greatest military partner after Israel. If Turkey would have gone into another direction after their defeat in WWI, like lets say Islamic or communist we might have much less and different influence in the region as we do now
