Armenian Genocide - Humanity's Lack of Conscience.

On April 24, 19—a crime was committed against humanity. A crime of such magnitude that stunned the entire civilized world. A crime so horrible that numbed the conscience of humanity. A crime so inhumane that the perpetrators were thought to have been possessed by the devil. A crime which took the lives of 1.5 million innocent people through a methodical plan of extermination. A plan conceived and carried out by a government, whose ultimate goal was the annihilation of an entire race. A criminal concept which was to be surpassed and perfected twenty five years latter by the Devil himself in Germany AKA Adolph Hitler.


This uncivilized, barbaric, blood-thirsty government used an international military conflict as its pretext and its cover, to carry out its “final solution”, a government sanctioned policy of extermination.

No, my friends I am not referring to the Nazis of 1940 but rather to the Turks of 1915. I am not referring to the ovens and gas chambers of Hitler but to the butcher squads of Talaat. I am not referring to the Jewish people of 1940 Germany but to the Armenian people of 1915 Turkey.

After years of local massacres came the slaughter of April 24, 1915. A date that is embedded in the minds and hearts of every Armenian man, woman, and child surviving today. 1.5 million people perished in order to achieve the Turkification of a malignant Empire.

“Saturnalia of slaughter by refined methods…to wipe out the Armenian race…” wrote the Ottawa Evening Journal on November 29, 1915.

“…The world has never seen a more furious effort to drive out a people, or more cruel methods in their execution, than are now being employed against this unhappy race.” Wrote the National Geographic October 1915, vol. xxviii, No. 4.

“…more than a million and a half Armenians…behind the façade of the war were methodically done to death.” Wrote Abram S. Sachar in The Reaction of The West to Genocide “The course of Our Times” (Knopf, New York, 1972)

“…the most unimaginable racial annihilation…” wrote H.M. Sachar, in “Emergence Of The Middle East 1914 – 1924 (Knopf, New York, 1969)

The testimonials to the events of 1915 are countless. The facts are indisputable. The incidents are engraved into the history books and yet up to this day the Turkish government refuses to acknowledge and condemn the atrocities perpetrated by their government of 1915. Not only they deny the slaughter ever took place but they [even today] insist on making idle threats against any country or international organization who dare to follow their conscience.

I like to take this opportunity on the 95th anniversary of the Genocide, to join with all the Armenian people, in paying tribute to the memory of the 1.5 million whose lives were cut short by the Turks in the name of racial purification on April 24, 1915.
