Armenian civilians are marched to a nearby prison in Mezireh by armed Turkish soldiers. Kharpert, Ottoman Empire, April 1915.
Armenian children and infants were lined up with their heads 50 in a row
So the Turks see how far bullets would travel through infant brain.

In this very interesting book, a young Armenian-American woman (family exiled from Iran) spent several years living in Turkey, wondering whether Armenians and Turks could get to understand one another. She found that, No, they could not. The programming in Turkey is intense.

Her final anecdote, as she's taking a taxi to the airport to leave Turkey, has the Turkish cab driver asking if Israel - the country they love to hate - is populated by Armenians.

The Armenian holocaust should serve as another example and opportunity to warn of victim disarmament followed by government Democide.

Of course, the Pope and Turkish officials agree on one thing; only governments should have guns.

Pope Francis spoke out against the killing of Christians (Nigeria, Egypt, Libya, Iraq, etc) in strong terms on Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter, and at the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday. That's at least six times in the past 2 weeks not counting some spontaneous remarks to the press.) And now this on the Armenian Genocide.

But who is listening?

The Pope first used the word genocide for the killings two years ago, prompting a fierce protest from Turkey.

And, everyone else calls it that as well.
