I've heard of it. Read about it a little. But never really got into the depth of it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Okay. Hold on Hold on. It's all coming back to me.

Turks, Armenians, and Trickery.

 

[Columba]

Okay. Hold on Hold on. It's all coming back to me.

Turks, Armenians, and Trickery.

Yes. The Turks wanted a "pure" Turkish speaking empire, from Istanbul to Iran. The Armenians were unfortunately right in the middle of the nationalistic dream.

The Turks used the world's focus on the war to carry out the genocide.

Trickery was a big part of it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yes Yes, we spoke about this once in History class. Awful.

It's also horrible that people have heard of the Holocaust but never of this genocide.

They were both powered by evil nationalists and many people died, but one is more famous that the other. Why.

 

[Columba]

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

-Adolf Hitler, trying to convince his officers that the Holocaust will go unnoticed.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Well wasn't he wrong.

But, in your own words, Hitler was impotent and narcissistic, so he probably wasn't to good at predicting the future.

Of course, I meant impotent in the way that his ***** didn't work and I never said narcissistic, though, I'd probably agree that he was.

Anyways, everyone should be aware that the Armenian Genocide happened.

Even if the Turks deny it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

You're such a subtle person, Ryan.

And yes, people should know about this.

 

[Mur13]

Turks also killed thousands of Greeks.

 

[BabyPiglet]

What horrible little Turkeys.

 

[schmitty]

Ive heard of it. It probably isnt as well known because there wasn't a dynamic figure head to blame the whole incident on.

 

[Mur13]

What horrible little Turkeys.

No; don't say that. Just a dark time in Turkish history.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I might have been talking about how much I despise the food served on Thanksgiving.

Gosh, Don't jump to conclusions.

Might is the operative word .

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yes, yes it is.

 

[Mur13]

You might have been talking about the fact that turkeys are dirty animals. Who knows.

I swear, I like you lady. You're intelligent.
