I'm posting here, just to know how many of you at WHT new about the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Tomorrow, April 24th, is a day of commemoration to the more that 1.5 million Armenians viscously massacred. Just want to know how many of you know of it and what you know of it.

I did not know of this massacre....
However I am not American...
How accurate is this information? Can you tell me more?

Visit the following sites for a lot of information -

This massacre was perpetrated during the WWI, by the Young Turk Government.
The U.S. government is yet to accept the Armenian Genocide, however 31 states have recognized it as the first genocide of the century. Before President Bush became President, during his campaign that if elected President, he would make sure that Armenian Genocide be recognized. However, when time came, he decided not to fulfill his promise, because of the U.S. ties with Turkey. Even though the U.S. has yet to recognize the Armenian Genocide, numerous countries have and will continue to do so.

I am familiar with this issue.

But there are people who say it never happened. Mainly the Turks say it never happened.

Not to make light of this very serious issue, but what oldtime internet memories a discussion of this issue brings back... does anyone here today know anything about Serdar Argic, and the Zumabot? You really don't have a full grasp of net culture if you don't know those stories!

I live in a heavily populated armenian city (san fernando valley), I have heard of the genocide but no offense, armenians are some of the rudest people in the world.

I'm assuming all Americans are nice good people. You know what generalizing is? Because you are generalizing. You haven't seen/talked to all of the over 6 million Armenian people in the world.
