“Geez, it was 90+ years ago. Get over it.”
90 plus years ago and NEVER RECOGNIZED.
It’s so easy for you to say “get over it.”
Having lost my ancestors in the genocide for no reason at all, and for the genocide to continue to be denied by Turkey and ignored by the world community, as though their lives meant absolutely nothing, we Armenians will “get over it” when it is FINALLY RECOGNIZED.
point taken
For no reason at all? The Armenians staged a full scale uprising in the middle of a world war, a war the Turks were losing. When you use a war to leverage your rebellion, and fail, bad consequences follow (see Irish, Cromwell). There is no question that thousands of Armenians were killed, many of whom had nothing to do with the insurrection, but “no reason at all” is unsupportable.
