When the first Genocide of the 20th century took place in Armenia on April 24 1915, 1.5 million innocent people were murdered. The land of Armenia was stolen and now only a third of it is left. All this was conducted by the Turkish authorities of the Ottoman empire and the young Turk movemnet. This occured as the empire was crumbling during WW1. Very people heard about this in the West at the time. Why? Because at the time Armenia was under the Russian Czarist Empire and thought to be pro Russia, when infact there was a very strong anti-russian atmosphere in the Armenia of that time. Meanwhile while the west ignored the tradegy, the Armenians were forced to turn to the new Bolsheviks in power, maybe this is what sealed the fate of the first Genocide of the century. All was kept quiet. Even after WW1 the western capitalist pigs leaders did not see in their intrests what would be the benefits of returning land to some distant nation in the caucauses, especially if it would be possible if the benfactors would be the new Soviet government. The treaty of Sevres which was meant to be reperations for the crimes of Turkey were easily changed to the Treaty of Lausanne after the Turks thought they didnt require a punishment for murdering 1.5 million men, women and children. The western government would not have gained anything from the treaty so they changed it to suit the turks, the truks had got off very lightly.
In WW2 history repeated itself as war broke out, again Germany and the Turks were together, and again the Armenians now under the soviet flag were beaten even though victorious. It was the Armenian division of Marshall Baghramian who liberated Berlin from the Fascist Dogs of Hitler. Berlin had been captured. Soon after the war, the Big Three had meeted and talked. Stalin realised that this was an opportunity to regain Armenian lost lands. After more than 30 years, maybe justice would be done and turkey would return Armenian land and all of its culture which was held in the lands back to the Armenian Soviet Republic, while Roosevelt and Stalin agreed, Churchill vetoed this and once more justice had not prevailed due to the greed of the capitalist naitons.
For nearly 90 years now we have denied the first Genocide of the 20th century, why wait any longer. Why do we also deny other genocides, such as those in Iraq? and the MASSacres of Kurds by YET AGAIN the Turks? we must put a stop to the cruelty of this world.
We are people to, we do not need to listen to what our leaders tell us, we can act on our own behalf too.
Forever Justice and Freedom. Kamo
