The world yawns. This doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative, which holds that Muslims are always victims and Christians always aggressors, and so down the memory hole it will go. “Experts: Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict Is Christian Genocide Under the Pretext of War,” by Victor Gaetan, National Catholic Register, November 16, 2020: Under the cover of a […]
Armenian archbishop: Turkey is perpetrating ‘third genocide’ against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh
They’ll likely get away with again also, as Azerbaijan has a well-oiled PR machine. Genocidal killers take advantage of the world’s indifference. As Hitler himself said, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” “Archbishop accuses Turkey of backing ‘third Armenian genocide’ in Nagorno-Karabakh,” by Inés San Martín, Crux, October 16, 2020: […]
The Dark Heart of the 20th Century Reflected in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Tucked away in the southern Transcaucasian highlands, which is the very headwaters of the Middle East, is a small country by the name of Armenia which parallels the history of Israel in many surprising, striking ways. Armenians have inhabited this area of the world for thousands of years. They even claim Noah’s heritage as the […]
Armenian PM on conflict with Azerbaijan: ‘Our only purpose is to protect the Armenian people from another genocide’
Given the fact that the Azerbaijanis are recruiting jihadis to fight for them, and the jihadist rhetoric of some of those applauding them, it is not unreasonable for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to be concerned about the possibility of another genocide. “Turkey Orchestrating Another Genocide, Armenia PM Says as Nagorno-Karabakh Boils,” International Business Times, October […]
Turkey creates “autonomous and civilian structure” dedicated to denying early 20th-century genocide of Christians
The Turks continue to deny that they committed genocide of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Christians of the nation. The Christians were kuffar harbi — Infidels at war with Islam — for wanting independence, and hence under Islamic law their lives were forfeit. But jihadis and Islamic supremacists never, ever take responsibility for what they […]
1915’s “Year of the Sword” and Beyond
April 24 marked the 105th anniversary of the 1915 Ottoman Empire’s deportation of 200 Armenian intellectuals from the Ottoman capital of Istanbul, an event that is remembered as the start of the Armenian genocide. Fitting reflections for this time come from Sister Hatune Dogan, a Syriac Orthodox Christian nun from Turkey, who has written about […]
U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations Remains Silent on Armenian Genocide
105 years later, they still refuse to recognize it. Historians generally mark the beginning of the Armenian Genocide with the arrest of 250 Armenian intellectuals by Turkish authorities on April 24, 1915. What followed that fateful date is one of the single greatest tragedies in human history: a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing, mass deportation, […]
Turkey accused of hiding Ottoman-era evidence of the Armenian Genocide
The Turks continue to deny that they committed genocide of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Christians of the nation. Here, however, is more proof that the Ottoman government knew what was happening and approved. The Christians were kuffar harbi — Infidels at war with Islam — for wanting independence, and hence under Islamic law their […]
The Thirty-Year Genocide in Turkey
Lindsey Graham was criticized last week for blocking a Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, and deservedly so. Despite the well-financed efforts of successive Turkish governments to convince the world that there never was an Armenian genocide, but only some clashes between the Ottomans and Armenians who “treacherously” took the side of Russia during the […]
Turks irked, condemn House resolution on Armenian Genocide, say Turkey is “last wall between Europe and terrorism”
A wall, or a door? “‘Turkey last wall between Europe and terrorism,’” Yeni Safak, November 3, 2019: Turkey is the last wall standing between Europe and terrorism, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Sunday. “Turkey is protecting not only its own borders, but also the borders of NATO. Turkey’s security is the security of all […]
Ilhan Omar and the Armenian Genocide
When Congress recently voted on a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, the vote was lopsided in favor, 405 in favor, 11 against, with 3 voting “present.” One of those voting “present” was Ilhan Omar, the Muslim Congresswoman from Minnesota. Just a few days before, there had been a different vote involving Turkey, calling for sanctions […]
Armenian Assembly: Omar’s Refusal to Acknowledge Armenian Genocide Doesn’t Represent “Muslim Values”
My latest in PJ Media: In reporting on the refusal of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Ankara) to vote for a House resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide, NBC News quoted Van Krikorian, the co-chair of the Armenian Assembly of America, saying that Omar’s “votes and actions…do not represent the best of American or Muslim values. Innocent people […]
Ilhan Omar refuses to vote for Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide
“A true acknowledgement of historical crimes against humanity must include both the heinous genocides of the 20th century, along with earlier mass slaughters like the transatlantic slave trade and Native American genocide, which took the lives of hundreds of millions of indigenous people in this country.” All right. And how about we also add the […]
Colm Gillis: The West Owes “an Immense Debt to Islam” (Part 2)
Colm Gilllis continues his attempt to eviscerate Boris Johnson for daring to suggest, 12 years ago, that Islam is the cause of Muslim lands falling behind the West: Johnson is correct that many Muslim-majority nations are beset by social and political problems. Yet the same holds true for numerous Christian-majority nations such as Russia, Honduras, […]
Turkey 1894-1924: “Deliberate, state-engineered genocide aided by Muslim clerics and the Muslim-majority population”
“The Turks and their helpers murdered, straightforwardly or indirectly, through privation and disease, between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians between 1894 and 1924.” And the Turks still deny that they did it. Disinformation and ignorance continue to cloud this issue. Even in this article, Kemal Ataturk refers to himself as a “mujahid,” that is, a […]
New book brings to light Turkey’s thirty-year genocide of Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian Christians
An important new book about an atrocity that is little-known in the West and obscured by charges of “Islamophobia.” Order it here. “Turkey’s destruction of its Christians: Benny Morris unravels the ‘Thirty-Year Genocide,’” by Daniel Campos, i24News, June 11, 2019: World renowned Israeli historian Benny Morris sat down with i24NEWS to discuss his new body […]
Turkey’s Foreign Minister: “We are proud because our history has never had any genocides and no colonialism”
Let’s see. A million and a half Armenians killed. Not genocide, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. A million Greeks killed. Not genocide, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. The jihad conquests of the Byzantine Empire, Eastern Europe, and more. Not colonialism, insists Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu. And indeed, the Ottoman Empire didn’t create colonies out of the conquered territories; the Ottomans just […]
Turkey: Politician calls for expulsion of Armenians as revenge for French recognition of Armenian genocide
Mustafa Destici, the head of Turkey’s Great Unity Party, “wants his government to expel tens of thousands of Armenian nationals residing in Turkey in retaliation against France for declaring a remembrance day for victims of the World War I-era genocide of Armenians.” Note: the term “right wing” is used in this story to describe Destici’s […]
“Killing of two million Christians was effected through the exhortation of the Turks to create a pure Muslim nation”
And the Turkish government to this day has never admitted any of these facts. “Israeli historians’ new study claims 30-year genocide against Anatolian Christians,” Ahval, January 17, 2019: The Christian population that had made up one fifth of the Ottoman Empire’s population was wiped out in waves of violence by successive Ottoman and Turkish republican […]
Netherlands: School bows to Turks and bars student documentary on Aramean Genocide
Turkey doesn’t recognize that any genocide of the Armenians, Assyrians, or Greeks took place. But it did. Get the details in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. Shayno Numansen simply wanted to explore her family’s history, but as far as the Turks are concerned, that history never existed, and Saxion […]
