3.5 million Orthodox Christians Murdered

How has it happened that the death of 3.5 million Orthodox-Christians is not remembered and honored as, say the Jewish Holocaust. The answer is that Turkey has used every measure it can to block recognition of the Greek Catastrophe/Armenian Genocide. Turkey has consistently denied a genocide ever occurred, despite historical record to the contrary. Their efforts to conceal the genocide are extraordinary:

Throughout the Cold War, Turkey used American Air Force bases in Turkey as black-mail, preventing the U.S. from publicly recognizing the genocide;

In the 1970's and 80's, Turkey was successful in excluding mention of the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the genocide from United Nations Reports;

Turkey influenced both the Reagan and Bush administrations to kill Congressional resolutions recognizing April 24 as a national day of remembrance for the millions of Orthodox Christians killed;

Turkey lavished giant grants on American Universities (including $1.5 million to Princeton and Georgetown University, where, incredibly, the professors who chair the departments started with these funds have denied a genocide ever occurred) in an attempt to revise history;

When a Conference on Genocides, that would report on the Greek Catastrophe and Armenian Genocide was planned for Tel Aviv, Israel in 1982, Turkey threatened repercussions against Jews living in Turkey if the Conference went forward. This might seem laughable if not for the fact that the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington received similar threats when it planned an exhibition on the matter.

    • Japan hasn't recognized or admitted their part in the genocide they perpetrated against the Philipinos, Chinese or captured Americans in the second world war, yes we deveoped and dropped the firt terrifying weapon, but in a way the Japanese had all kinds of warnings, and chances to surrender, only the fanaticism like the muslims kept them from experiencing the affects of a horrific bomb. Some of our scientists were in agreement that one should be dropped outside of Tokyo in the water, eventhough one was dropped on Hiroshima they still wouldn't surrender until the one on Nagaski. Anyone that believes a human is a god or a phrophet straight from god some day is in for a surprise when they pass on.

    • Awful, but not surprising.
      Religious and Ethnic 'cleansing' has been used by many to gain power and control.
      No, this will not be recognized as the Holocaust has been due to special interest and bias held by those controlling media and the so-called news... Same reason people don't realize how much of their U.S. tax dollars go to Jews for so-called Holocaust reparations.
      But let's not turn this into a Christian pity-party, for they (not Armenians but Christians) have also been responsible for the extermination of many.

    • This is precious footage of the Greek Catastrophe/Armenian Genocide that should never be lost. This is a graphic and shocking video. It is worse than most holocaust videos. Down load it, mirror site it, keep it alive.

      Narrated well.

    • This part of awful world history wasn't in my school books. Were your pages on this chapter glued together as well?

      BTW - Turkey is 99.8% Muslim.

      What other religion would kill (and get away with) murdering Christians like that?
