I am quite aware of the Turkish Genocide as my Mother was Armenian. It wasn't just Armenians, however, it was all Christians which included Assyrians & Coptic Greeks; it’s just that the Armenians were the largest group. The ones that survived were among the ones who defied the order to disarm. Oh, and the Turks claim they didn’t massacre the Armenians they just drove them through the desert to Syria without food or fresh water so that many died of disease or starvation which provided us with the phrase “Starving Armenians”.
On know commenting on this very late, but it would do the Turks well to own up this. I doubt they ever will.
