On the same year that millions around the world commemorated the centennial of the Armenian Genocide—or, more fundamentally, the Christian Genocide—Turkish authorities have started the demolition of Kamp Armen, an Armenian orphanage. Armenian sources reported in early May that bulldozers have begun to demolish the building located in the metropolitan district of Tuzla, despite attempts by some political representatives of the opposition parties to intervene.
The orphanage was built in 1962 on the initiative of the Armenian Protestant community. Reports Agenzia Fides:
Thanks to its activities, the institution has helped 1,500 children to grow up in an environment based on the spirituality and culture of Armenian Christianity. There was also Hrant Dink among its students, the Armenian Turkish journalist, founder of the bilingual magazine Agos, killed in 2007 after being repeatedly threatened with death for his positions on the Armenian Genocide. The Turkish State had expropriated the orphanage in 1987, and all legal attempt by the Armenian Protestant communities to regain control of the building fell on deaf ears.

West …the true selfish ,namesake Christians . Turkey butchered its Christian population under the nose of Western powers . The west never tries to stop those incidents during 1915-1925 .(Being orthodox? ) .Instead pf punishing Turkey the west honoured Kemal Pasha by including Turkey in NATO !!! . Not the least west has welcomed all Muslim criminals to their Land and now the name sake Christians in those lands are endangered species .
West do something … to protect the remaining Christians in Egypt and middle east . Otherwise you will be digging your own grave

Mustafa Kemal was not an Islamist. It is mainly his influence that secularized the country and gave it a rather liberal constitution, compared to other Muslim states. Nato membership is of course a purely expedient strategic move, sitting as Turkey does under the nose of the ex-USSR.
Luke says
Mustafa Kemal was no Islamist. It is largely thanks to him that Turkey has a relatively liberal west-leaning secular constitution.

“YOU my friend,NEED TO READ YOUR BIBLE,it tells you AMERICANS “ARE YELLOW AS A BANANA”(jeremiah 51:30)”
– Jeremiah 51:30 was probably written in 6th Century B.C. It was actually an oracle against Babylon, warning of how YHWH would respond to the actions taken against Judah. After repeated readings, I find no mention neither of America nor Allah. By the way, the oracle came true: Babylon, located in what is present-day Iraq, was conquered shortly thereafter by Cyrus the Great. That having been said, what does this have to do with an Armenian orphanage being bulldozed in Turkey?

Erdogan’s Turkey is an increasingly disgusting state.

But, what about the Marmaray, and the tram systems and the and the…. That’s what people see, public works. Not too bothered about the Islamist surveillance state vibe. And a lot of people seem to think a good dose of Islam is what the country needs.

It was of course more than just an Armenian holocaust. An estimated 1m Greeks and 500K Assyrians also lost their lives in that period. It is a testament to the efficiency of the ‘cleansing’ that we have largely forgotten the existence of these latter two. Whole villages were beheaded, not just by the Turkish demographic but by people calling themselves Kurds also. You can still visit many ghost villages today. Incredibly amongst the general public you will still find people talking in dark hushed tones about the “Armenians’ who are ‘enemies of Turkey’ and fifth-columnists intent on taking over the state, along with ludicrous over-inflations of the number of Armenians in the country. They are, one can say, the national scapegoat, although for the past 40 years there has only been one source of terrorism in Turkey – the Kurds.

It is testament to the efficiency of the ‘cleansing’ that the latter two groups are mostly forgotten. As the article states, it was foremost a Christian genocide, the preferred method of execution, beheading. There are still many abandoned ghost villages in Turkey that were once populated by the Christian groups. Incredibly still, people speak in dark tones about the Armenian threat. They imagine a fifth-column of Armenian ‘enemies of the state’, intent on taking over the country and vastly over-inflating their numbers in their minds. The fact remains, that the only source of terrorism in Turkey in the last 50 years has been the Kurds (apart from the government perhaps).
Linda Rivera says
Muslim hate for Christians never stops, including destroying urgently needed Christian orphanages.
Our leaders have a lot to answer for, for massively importing Muslims into our civilised, Christian, kind, caring nations. If Muslim numbers are allowed to increase through continuing mass immigration and mass Muslim breeding, our people will suffer the same terrible fate. The complete loss of all of our rights and extreme persecution.
Please God, help Turkey’s Armenians.
I believe all Armenians, other Christians and Jews need to flee Turkey before Turkey perpetrates another mass barbaric genocide on them. Our Western nations bar entry of almost all Christians. Our leaders only want Muslims, so our leaders will refuse to let them in.
Peggy says
Our leaders need to pay for their tretchery but naturally this will not happen. They are so well protected and half of us don’t even know about their treason.

Is there any more proof required, the Propaganda of Islamists , there is No Compulsion in Religion is Taqiyaah?

Erikc Bogosian’s book ” Operation Nemesis” is a very well written book on the origins of the Armenian genocide. My mother, a survivor of the event, had plenty to say about her experiences , and Bogosian’s book revealed even more.
Mr. Bogosian is in the cast of TV series “Law and Order” . I didn’t realize he had such an additional talent. His remarks and descriptions ring true andn well worth the reading for interested persons.
SD31 says
I have just put it all together. It hit me like a ton of bricks. The reason Obama would not address the Armenian Genocide is that he did not want too and is himself a radical Muslim.
