Not only 1,5 M Armenians were massacred but also 750,000 Assyro-Chaldeans, Syriacs and 200,000 Greeks. To be more accurate we should call it the Genocide of the Christians minorities in Turkey rather than "Armenian Genocide" since it was obviously a calculated plan by the Ottoman autorities to erase Turkey from its Christian presence. If the west calls it "Armenian Genocide" it s because that appellation hides the sectarian nature of the massacre, which will contradicts the propaganda that we hear in Europe saying that Turks and Arabs were tolerant with the other religions etc...
At the end Armenians were not slaughtered just because they re Armenians but because of their faith , the 1914-1922 massacres are an episode from a long phenomena wich began in the 6 th century and consists in Islamizing the east and erase its Christian presence/roots. A phenomena which continues in our modern times with the Lebanese civil war, the intimidation and marginalisation of the Copts, the massacres against the Christians in Iraq during the 20 s and their actual persecution, current massacres in Darfur etc... |
