:!: TITLE: Armenian Genocide.
AUTHOR: Knollenberg, Joe. (Rep. - Mich.)

"In 1939, in a speech before his invasion of Poland, Hitler justified his brutal tactics with the infamous statement, 'Who today remembers the Armenians.' And six years after his speech, 6 million Jews have been exterminated by the Nazis.... [N]ever has the phrase, 'those who forget the past will be destined to repeat it,' been more true and more applicable.

"If the international community had spoken out against this merciless :shakefist: slaughtering of the Armenian people  :shakefist:  instead of ignoring it, the horrors of the Holocaust might never have taken place." (p.H2213)  


Representative Knollenberg spoke in commemoration of the Armenian genocide.  


------------------------------------------
-----
It is already obvious the world has failed to teach peace, although, there are hints of it and there are moments, but it truly is not long enough. Comes and goes like the wind... how much can we ask for?

Same ideas...different dates.
Assimilate or die.
Freedom or death.
Dying to speak.
We shouldn't deny these things...events...matters...causes...faith
I mean HEY! it.. repeats, over and over.
Not one tragic event is greater than the other
its the same idea...different dates.
Ignoring it,repeating it, not learning, denying it is the greatest form of crime, an abomination to humanity, to our planet. Earth does not deserve this, we do not deserve to do this to each other.

It is a part of life...
it can not happen again..
---------------------
ASSIMILATE
verb

====================================
"The Armenians are a race like the Jews-they have little or no national spirit and poor moral character." -Admiral Mark L. Bristol, U.S. High Commissioner to Turkey

May 11, 1918, letter to Cleveland Hoadley Dodge
". . . the Armenian massacre was the greatest crime of the war, and the failure to act against Turkey is to condone it . . . the failure to deal radically with the Turkish horror means that all talk of guaranteeing the future peace of the world is mischievous nonsense." - Theodore Roosevelt

Jimmy Carter
May 16, 1978, White House ceremony
"It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people, probably one of the greatest tragedies that ever befell any group. And there weren't any Nuremberg trials."
===========

"If you could make a deal with an Armenian you could make a deal with the devil."

"God made rabbits, snakes, and Armenians."
===========================

There is a general agreement among Western historians, that the Armenian genocide did happen. The Association of Genocide Scholars (represent the major body of scholars who study genocide in North America and Europe), for instance, do formerly recognize the event, and even consider it as undeniable. On the other hand, the academic recognition is not representative of government and media recognition. Many governments, including the United States, United Kingdom , and ironically Israel do not officially use the word genocide to describe these events, due in part to their strong commercial and political ties to Turkey, though some government officials have used it personally. Many newspapers for a long time would not use the word genocide without disclaimers such as "alleged" and many continue to do so. A number of those policies have now been reversed so that even casting doubt on the term is against editorial policy, as is the case with the New York Times. In recent years the number of countries recognizing the event as genocide officially, despite threats of economic retaliation by Turkey have grown. Two recent examples are France and Switzerland. In Switzerland, Turkish historian Yusuf Halacoglu has faced charges of violation of Swiss laws against holocaust denial as a result of a speech he held in Winterthur in 2004. Turkish entry talks with the European Union were met with a number of calls to consider the event as genocide, though it was eventually not a specific stipulation.

Countries recognising an Armenian genocide, include: Argentina, Armenia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay, Vatican City and Venezuela
