“If I die without having personally killed at least one Armenian with my own hands, God will hold me to account for it.” This lying, barbaric old Turkish man from Erzurum (Կարին) is a walking example of how the Turkish state has propagated against Armenians since 1915 with sheer schizophrenic lies, so that people keep telling such nonsense stories without even questioning them, keeping their hatred alive. Sorry to disappoint the apologists and those in favour of a dialogue with the Turk (as a state and as a nation), but this is the standard mindset. The interview translates as: “If I die without having personally killed at least one Armenian with my own hands, God will hold me to account for it. Five of ours, Fitnat Hanım, Rahile Hanım, and three others whose names I can’t recall, they shoved into a tandoor like that. The women were smearing their own filth on themselves so the Armenians wouldn’t come near them. Then they dragged them out of the tandoor, laid them on a mound, and cut their heads off. I heard this from my aunt. She said the woman’s head was cut off, and she still kept on walking. They did it saying, ‘Why are you hiding, then?’ The filth they committed, there’s no describing it. No law, no order, no human being would accept it, and still they did it. They put the young ones upstairs and the old ones downstairs. The women were upstairs, and since the people had already fled, everyone left was old. They crammed in men of sixty, seventy, fifty-five, all elderly, poured petrol over them from above with a straw baler, and burned them alive. Kâzım Karabekir wrote in his notebook: ‘I have never seen such a disgrace in my life.’ Whoever this Armenian is, may God curse him. What was done to us, to this village, was torture beyond any reason or comprehension.” The Armenian Genocide was the systematic persecution of 1.5 million Armenians (maybe even more), based on their ethnicity and religion. The Armenians were just a minority, alongside the other Christian groups. Christian minorities were not allowed to repair their churches, build new ones, live in Muslim neighbourhoods, or even disturb Muslims, let alone serve in the army or bear arms. Except for Constantinople, the Armenian population was mostly made up of villagers, especially in the Garin region, who were trying to preserve their lives and honour from Turkish massacres and Kurdish gangs. If they had been able to defend themselves, let alone massacre others by “cutting their heads off” (which is an Islamic way of killing, by the way, as you all know) or by “pouring petrol over them with a straw baler and burning them alive,” they wouldn’t have lost 1.5 million people. Armenian resistance occurred mainly through the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Tashnagtsutyun), which consisted of a few strong guerrillas fighting in the mountains and trying to help their people. They had neither the power to commit cruelty nor the motivation for it. Tashnagtsutyun fought against government forces, as in the Battle of the Holy Apostles Monastery, or against Turkish-backed Kurdish gangs, as in the Defense of Van. They also didn’t have an unlimited supply of weapons until the Russians gave them some in 1914, so they had to resist and preserve their nation with very limited supplies and power. Turkey fabricates lies and propaganda, and its people believe them because they want to. However, the world is not stupid, and people can see the inconsistencies in these fairy tales. That’s why there are so many countries that have recognized the genocide.

Even Hezbollah-ruled Lebanon welcomes the Pope with more tolerance than the so-called “secularists” in Turkey.

Disturbing and disgusting. An Armenian city, an Armenian church but Islamic prayer. There are more than 90,000 mosques in Turkey. Yet they had to plunder an Armenian church and convert it into a mosque. We see the same Turkish-Islamic pattern repeating itself. Hanging the Turkish flag on the Ani Cathedral, converting Hagia Sophia into a mosque, turning an Armenian church in Kars into one, they are links in the same chain.

Remembrance Day for the Genocide of Greeks of Anatolia. 🕯️ In Smyrna they slaughtered lambs, in town they slaughtered rams and outside of Aivalik they slaughtered our young men. Twelve of my father's nephews, each one of them two meters tell in stature, they had them in the field and they slaughtered them. They didn't just kill them. The bullet was valuable, so they cut their heads off. These are Turks, who are called Turks today. My mother-in-law told me, that the sea was filled with the bodies of our beautiful girls. She was in Smyrna. So that the girls wouldn't be taken and raped and tortured, they all jumped in the sea and drowned. And the ships wouldn't even take them! The British had their ships in the harbour as did the French. I am not sure if the Americans had their ships in the harbour and they were all taking photos.

Are you even aware of how beautiful the Armenian liturgy is? 1700 years of unbroken tradition...

Armenians are dancing on their native land. Two organizations, France-based Yerkir and France/Switzerland-based Gamarfolk, have organized dance workshops in Tigranakert, Dersim, and Kharpert. The event in Tigranakert took place at Surp Giragos Church. "Of course, these were dances and performances that Armenians used to carry out on these streets, these avenues, at these weddings 110, 120 years ago. Over such a long time, people forgot them. These events were organized to remind people once again, to remind the people at Surp Giragos." Many thanks to the organizers for letting our orphaned nation dance in its own streets again, after more than 100 years...

“They did not treat an Armenian the way they treated us. We are asking for your help, President Erdogan” A Turkish company that was invited to “rebuild” Artsakh now has all its properties seized by the Azerbaijani government, and they’re crying to Erdogan for help. Irony at its finest. After the invasion of Artsakh, Turkish construction companies were immediately invited to “rebuild.” But this pattern is nothing new, it’s the same playbook the Turkish state has used for decades. Every government in Turkey has cultivated its own loyal class of wealthy supporters. And many of Turkey’s richest families became wealthy by seizing Armenian homes, property, and goods after the Genocide. The economic elite of the Turkish Republic was built on the blood of Christians. Erdogan’s government isn’t any different. They invaded Northern Syria, and the first thing they did was call in their loyal construction companies. The same model is being repeated in Artsakh, openly. But what these companies didn’t understand is that the Turkish state, no matter the ideology, is always greedy. It doesn’t care about their loyalty or profit, it cares only about its own profit. I’m posting the video here with the Turkish translation. The story is predictable: They were invited to Artsakh to rebuild. Then the Azerbaijani elite didn’t want to share the profit. So they seized everything. Now the owners of the company, who happily went to Artsakh for the money, are crying for help. And yet, even now, they still don’t forget to curse Armenians at the end. Incredible. Sooner or later, they will repay for everything. History shifts. It always has. Here is their own statement: “Honorable President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, After the Karabakh victory, we are one of the Turkish companies invited to help rebuild Karabakh. Our company has carried out a total of 44 projects in the cities of Lachin and Kalbajar, including schools, factories, hotels, and military dormitories. President Ilham Aliyev and Mehriban Aliyeva personally attended our inauguration ceremonies. Mr. President, all of our factories and receivables have been seized using the name of Leyla Aliyeva. Although we have applied to Azerbaijani state institutions for two years, we have not received any results. We informed the Turkish ambassador, Mr. Cavit Balcı, about the situation. He responded to us by saying, ‘They will stain my reputation, stay calm.’ Mr. President, they raided our home with fake police officers. Weapons were taken from our home — from the home of a Turkish businessman. They did not treat an Armenian the way they treated us. We are asking for your help.”

Children of Karin (Erzurum), whose parents survived the Armenian Genocide but were exiled from their homeland in 1915, returned in 1995 to touch and reclaim their forbidden native soil, singing a beautiful fedayi song. „A voice rang out from the Armenian mountains of Erzurum, The hearts of Armenians trembled fiercely at the sound of arms.“ „Ձայն մը հնչեց Էրզըրումի հայոց լեռներէն, Թունդ-թունդ ելան հայի սրտեր զէնքի շաչիւնէն:“

Islamic pressure in Turkey knows no limits. Surp Vortvots Vorodman Armenian Church and culture center in Istanbul. Why are Muslims singing a Salawat in our church? Aren’t there enough mosques in Turkey? What is the point of singing this in front of an Armenian cross? ‘O Allah, sanctify Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have sanctified Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.’ Since when do Armenian Apostolics recognize the prophet of Islam? Whoever allowed this needs to answer some questions. Was it out of fear? Did they threaten the Patriarchate? Or is our church now hostage to some political agenda dressed up as interfaith tolerance? Why did this happen? Let me tell you; early Christians died in horrific ways and still kept their faith. Fear is not a valid excuse.
