Unrecognized Genocide of Armenians
Yerkir/arm
November 26, 2004
The long series of political killing in the Ottoman Empire at the end
of 1890′ s prepared soil for the mass massacres of 1915-1923, which is
now called the Armenian Genocide, which resulted in killing of one and
a half million of Armenians. The start of those events is considered
the murder of a number of prominent Armenians in Constantinople on
April 24, 1915.
This is an issue that few people want to speak about except
Armenians. Often people try to use false terms like `killings of
Armenians by Turks’ or ` Armenian massacre,’ while historically it is
a real genocide.
However, up to day, many nations, including the USA, have not
recognized the genocide. During the recent US election, democrat John
Kerry promised to definitely recognize the genocide if being elected.
However, Bush’s victory means another four years of suspension of the
issue. History shows that certain economic and military conditions
always prevent from deep analysis of the issues. Obviously, great role
belongs to Turkey in the Middle East fights and policies.
As a result, the genocide continues to be silenced, which means
closing doors to the truth. This type of behavior does not suit
nations propagandizing humanism and transparency. Moreover that
nations like Argentina, Israel andthe USA have come across such
phenomena on certain occasions.
