Turkey just can't get enough of screwing over Armenia
- farseer 4y agoApparently Armenians tried to reclaim historic lands from Ottomon Turkey in WW1 with allied help (vastly overestimating themselves). This led to their genocide at the end of war and subsequent Turkish and Soviet collusion to oppress them for a century.
- seydor 4y agothe genocides happened before the war
- khvirabyan 4y agoI beg your pardon, what? :D The genocide at first happened before the WW1
- psKama 4y agoWikipedia says otherwise, giving the starting date as 1915 for genocide, while WW1 started in 1914. Basically it looks like the same as USA dropping 2 nuclear bombs on innocent civilians in Japan during WW2 when Japan attacked them.
- qwytw 4y agoThe Hamidian massacres massacres were basically a smaller scale Armenian genocide which occurred in the 1890's, only a few hundred thousand died instead of millions though, so I suppose it doesn't count... Anti-Christian violence continued intermittently afterwards, erupting whenever the government was unstable and could not prevent it or needed to shift the blame for it's incompetence on someone else. >Basically it looks like the same as USA dropping 2 nuclear bombs on innocent civilians in Japan during WW2 when Japan attacked them. What? That's a beyond nonsensical comparison. Many of the areas affected by the genocide weren't even close to the front lines, it would be the same as US dropping nukes on North Dakota because too many German Americans lived there.
- m00dy 4y agoYou better call it Turkiye
- wazoox 4y agoNonsense. It has been called Turkey for centuries. You could also say "you should call Germany Deutschland, and Spain España and French shouldn't be allowed to call England Angleterre and BTW Moscow really is Moskva...". This never stops.
