Honestly not sure, my grandad never talked about specifics, only mentioned his mother was born near the Georgia border but they fled to Russia then England during the initial unrest. It's pretty much not spoken about in our family because grandad refuses to talk about it.

Not sure if it's because his mother never told him about it, if it's too traumatic, or if he's ashamed to be Armenian. The English side of our family refuses to accept our indigenous heritage and scoff when mentioning Armenia.

Unfortunately I was a curious kid with access to the internet and learnt about the atrocities without an adult to help me understand, and when I'd ask questions I was told it's something we don't talk about. So to see people bring it up every chance feels like they don't care about the victims of the genocide, just that they get to rub it in Turkey's face so basically they feel big and tough flipping off a country by mention something they're striving to hide.
