Thread Name: BS: Truth: Turkey and Armenia
Subject: RE: BS: Truth: Turkey and Armenia
Its time to set the history books right and Turkey should at least admit that the Ottoman Empire committed acts of genocide against the Armenian people. It is not only Turkey who should be blamed, however. No allied power came to the defense of the Armenians.   

Google armenia 'images' and have a read.

"After the successful obliteration of the people of historic Armenia during the Armenian Genocide, the Turks demolished any remnants of Armenian cultural heritage including priceless masterpieces of ancient architecture, old libraries and archives. The Turks even leveled entire cities such as the once thriving Kharpert, Van and the ancient capital at Ani, to remove all traces of the three thousand year old civilization."

Genocide is not just about numbers. Its about the erradication of a culture and Hitler did indeed use the Armenian example as a blueprint for his attempt to destroy Poland and the Jewish culture.
