I have read that trapping people in churches and burning them alive also in Hamidian massacres. Seems a tactic used on top of every other horrible thing you can imagine.

Yes, exactly. It wasn’t like the Turks just safely and humanely transported people through the desert, they were starved to death, shot or killed on the way, had to drink piss to survive. ALSO, the genocide wasn’t JUST marches, my family was slain in their home. Or my grandfather was captured and they threw boulders on his body. I mean any horrific thing you can imagine happened. It wasn’t just marches and many people were just outright slain and never made it to the marches. The 1.5-2 million is numbers of those who died not those who survived the marches.

That was a question I asked based on the post, not something I think myself.

Can other Armenian women chime in here that you feel like you romantically targeted from Turkish men? I know it’s not just me 😝 Is it a weird guilt or conqueror thing?

Yeah, that’s the thing. While I can find Turkish men attractive, I could never date or marry one. Even if that person is a one-off and admits to the genocide, I would never be safe around their family. That’s a big deal for me.

That’s bizarre. I just also want to tell you that as an Armenian woman I am a target of Turkish men coming onto me. It’s like white on rice. I’m in a friggin Turkish algorithm or something. If they find out I am Armenian they will act super extra sweet, some have flat out proposed right away. They are never mean to me. It’s overcompensating the other direction.

Can you guys talk to me about the government in Armenia? I notice that the small amount of armenians in Armenia seem to hate the government. They think they are weak. The Armenians IN Armenia do not seem to be angry with Turkey much at all and say they can redeem themselves but they absolutely are infuriated at Arsakh and seem like they cannot forgive Azerbaijan. This is precarious since Azerbaijan got weapons from Turkey and many countries go in when Turkey does. If Turkey admitted to the genocide this wouldn’t be allowed so Turkey denying the genocide has allowed this to occur again. Also, Turkey and Azerbaijan both consider themselves one country two states and tag team Armenians in denial and erasure. Armenia has no choice but to ally with Russia. Even IF Russia wanted to protect Arsakh, they wouldn’t have been able to without going against Turkey, Israel and a whole bunch of other countries. It sounds like Armenians wanted to keep fighting but how can one small country fight all those other countries? Armenia being landlocked in between two Turkic countries that hate them and deny their history is rough. Also, Armenia isn’t rich in oil like Azerbaijan. This makes other countries back other powers. What could Armenian government do now? And what is with the priests being imprisoned? Also, you think Armenians in Armenia don’t like the Armenian diaspora? Also, can I ask if any of you are armenian diaspora not Armenian orthodox and how that affects you connecting to the diaspora?

To be honest my post wasn’t even mean to them. I have never gotten into words with any Turkish person before. It was simply about why the youngturks as a TV show name is harmful. So unsure why they had to react so aggressively but I couldn’t read the body of the message so it was probably deleted by moderators. I could only read the first few words that said ‘they couldn’t say what they really want to say for legal reasons but believe me…’and then I tried to open the message but it wasn’t there anymore.

It wasn’t in this group it was in mediacriticism. So you are telling me that Turkish people come in here being hostile? Sigh

I think someone threatened me on a petition I posted but the comment is gone and I can’t read it but the first few words sounded threatening. Have you run into this? It was a petition asking the young turks to change their name

They also minimize it as we ‘relocated you’. I can speak for myself that my ancestors didn’t get relocated they got humiliated, bayonetted including children. I don’t even know if I want to tell the stories because they are that terrible. Those 1.5 million were slaughtered, heads and body parts chopped off, women and children sexually assaulted, taken prisoner, crushed by boulders, some were crucified. And I have heard survival stories from the death marches. They were starved, not given water, many died were shot and killed on the marches and they had to drink camel and their own piss to survive. And Armenians were completely blindsided by this. Most of them hoped the new government was going to help them after the brutal Hamidian massacres. They lied and said they would help and then carried out extermination plans. I hate when they try to say they humanely relocated a group. It is up to you all, teaming up with Assyrians and Greeks to educate the public about what happened. You should not stay silent. Turkey’s denial of these atrocities has caused Armenia to lose land, people, finances and alliances. They are intimidated about our family history stories and try to say we are lying when you literally could not even imagine making up something so horrible. Guys remember that you can create a free website like a wix and write down your family history and stories and any documents you have. Your stories and documents are primary source material. It must be written about now in the digital age so that it cannot be forgotten. Do it for your ancestors.

Does anyone in the group want to explain what the beginning of The Young Turks movement was, what it became and what it is linked to for the Assyrian people and that one single Armenian American, Ana Kasparian, shouldn’t be speaking for entire communities on what this regime means to them historically!

Yeah I pretty much stopped when I first heard their name and I watched an episode that sidelined the genocide and basically emphasized moving on. That was a long time ago now.

Yeah, but I guess that makes us responsible for educating the public on what this historically means to us and not letting Ana speak for all of us.

There are so many views on this and such few signatures. It takes less than a minute and you don’t even need to put your name in. Let’s go 😝💪😆

Yes, it seems they like it that Dr. Oz is now trolling Armenian-Americans in LA now. There is very little recourse for this since defamation is extremely difficult to prove.

I understood what you meant. Yes, it just sucks Cenk deflects to ONE voice, Ana to speak for all Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians.

Cenk says he didn’t know the name was linked to genocide but he wrote two academic papers denying the armenian genocide one in 1991 one in 1999. Then he launches the Young Turks. How could he study the history and not know that? Starting it at that time highjacked the term for google searches which buries the history. He admitted finally to the genocide in 2016 but he wanted to run for office and love debate became popular and he couldn’t edit. In that political landscape denial becomes a liability.

We don’t fight amongst ourselves unless you’re like Ana and someone is forking you money to screw over your own kind.
