The Genocide

Today marks an important part of many Orthodox Christian’s history: the destruction of culture, faith and families. Most people don’t know about it, but some know it as the Greek or Pontic genocide, while others know it as the Armenian genocide or Assyrian/Syriac genocide (also known as Sayfo/Seyfo). There were systematical massacres, deportations and take overs of villages in Turkey where, roughly estimated, 3 million people died. For many people, today marks the 105th anniversary of the Genocide. This is however currently denied by the Turkish government, which is why it’s not well known. However, the stories live on and get passed down generation to generation as a reminder of the Orthodox Christian’s suffering. And this is why I stand today in solidarity with my Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters.

So happy that the US finally recognized the genocide on Christians! It’s about time.

Regarding those prior posts.

While I’m not Armenian or Assyrian myself, it doesn’t mean that I don’t give a shit.

Because I do.

I don’t like bullies and I certainly don’t like impunity.

The Armenian genocide is real enough for people to try and cover it up.

Their insistence that it didn’t happen and mental gymnastics to deny or cover it up only serves as further proof that it did happen.

Despite the abundance of evidence that it did happen!

Hmm. Yes. Okay. Now tell me WHY there’s no Armenians living in this village. Where did they go?

[dougielombax]

Shush.

You hear that?

That sound?

Yeah.

That’s the continued denial of the Armenian genocide.

(Turkey spends BILLIONS of dollars a year promoting and perpetrating such denialism. As does Azerbaijan. And Pakistan, for some baffling reason)

A roaring wave of endless stupidity and spiteful ignorance.
