Joe Biden’s April 24 statement acknowledging the Armenian Genocide (1915–1923+) carried out by Turkey was welcome, but flawed. Indeed, “Turkey” appears nowhere in the document. Moreover, the State Department swiftly undermined Biden’s virtuous-sounding words. American acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide isn’t even new. The U.S. House has passed several resolutions on the Genocide. And […]
Netanyahu’s son: Turkey is founded on the genocide of Greek Christians

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.

“Expulsions, massacres, and genocide have resulted in the complete homogenization and Islamization of Anatolia”

The Thirty-Year Genocide in Turkey
Lindsey Graham was criticized last week for blocking a Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide, and deservedly so.

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.
