100 years ago today.

Didn't know much about it until reading a few articles recently. Inspiration for Hitler apparently as he thought his crimes would be ignored by the rest of the world in much the same they did with the Ottomans and the awful fate of those one million plus they exterminated.

Not quite sure why the Turkish today won't own up to it and move on.

Do you know what reasons the Turks give for it not being genocide?

Because the Turkish today had nothing to do with it.

Why has everyone got to be seen to apologise for historical s*** that is nothing to do with now.

By that logic the UK Establishment today should not bother taking responsibility by prosecuting Yewtree crimes that were committed under earlier regimes and has nothing to do with them.

Recognition of a major crime committed rather than constant denial and, thus, having some kind of belated minor justice is very important to millions of Armenians. And for a significant number it was their grandparents that were murdered by the grandparents of some Turks alive today. Not the latter's fault but at the same time hardly ancient history.

Now that is funny.

Here is a video of System of A Down playing their first ever show in Armenia.
They are all of Armenian descent and embarked on a tour named 'Wake up the souls' in the search for justice for these people.

There are 3 short comic-book style videos that are commentated by Tom Morello throughout the gig. May be of interest to some.

Its terrible that our country hasn't accepted it as a genocide, yet Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland have.

The state persists, where it people fall. Turkey as a country is representative of its history as well as its people - There is a difference between a state apology and blaming the current generation.

National pride should include accepting responsibility for the good and the bad of your nation, not just self empowerment.

Not at all, they're going after those who committed the offences rather than their relatives 100 years down the line.

No one involved in this, on either side, is alive and they have differing views of what happened. The Armenians don't have any right to force Turkey to make statements they don't want to or agree with.

A disgrace, and no mistake.

True, although that doesn't really mean we cannot comment on a genocide. Politicians have generally been quite keen on judgements against other countries and their actions.

Then again where does Armenia stand on the Blair / Iraq situation.
