Oh, Ahmed, you actually can count? I didn’t know petty genocide denialists could. I hope some math won’t overburden your chicken brains.
How many Armenians were killed by your savage Ottoman predecessors during the Hamidian massacres in 1894-1896? Most sources agree up to 300,000.
How many Armenians were killed by the combination of your savage Ottoman+Young Turk predecessors during the Adana massacre in 1909? Most agree on 30,000.
How many Armenians were burnt alive by your savage Kemalist predecessors during the great fire of Smyrna? Most sources estimate around 20,000.
How many Armenians were massacred or starved to death by your savage Young Turk predecessors during the genocide between 1915 and 1922? Most scholars agree at 1,500.000.
Please feel free to take several days to add these figures and let us know what approximate figure you came up with, okay? Good luck.

It actually doesn’t surprise me that on April 24th, the Turkish embassy celebrates the extermination of 1.5 million Armenians between 1915-1922, as well as the exterminations of approximately one million Greeks and 250 thousand Assyrians. After all, exterminating people is a tradition in the criminal, terrorist Turkish culture. As a matter of fact, when it comes to exterminating people in the most barbaric manner, the Turkish culture is by far the most talented in this particular field. However, what doesn’t make sense here, is that by celebrating the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by their filthy barbaric forefathers, the Turkish embassy is actually contradicting the desperate Armenian Genocide denial position of its government.

The Pontian Greeks have many memorial events – Tomorrow is May 19th which is the official day of commemoration of the Pontian Genocide by Turkey – we will gather downtown in NYC BOWLING GREEN PARK for a special service and raising of flags – by the way, I sincerely hope that as Turkey is being exposed more and more every day for their barbarism, the Armenians, Greeks and Syriacs will become more unified in their activism
