ARMENIAN GENEALOGY - HOLOCAUST - IT IS POSSIBLE

ARMENIAN WEEKLY ; TURKISH DATABASE FOR ARMENIANS - HOLOCAUST

A year or so ago, it was reported that the Turkish government had a web site to help people researching their Armenian genealogy and family history, and possibly to locate lost or missing family.  Children who were orphaned were given Turkish names and converted to the Muslim religion. Go to this article and try to achieve the website yourself.

EXCERPT: The reason for the extraordinary interest in these family tree reports was the claim that they contained much more information than previously available - information dating back as the early 1800's in some cases.  In addition, this was the first time such information was so easily accessible online from anywhere in the world.  The Internet soon filed with stories of Turkish citizens learning of Armenian and other ancestry they had not know about previously.

SHOAH FOUNDATION TO INCLUDE GENOCIDE TESTIMONIALS OF ARMENIANS AND OTHERS

The SHOAH FOUNDATION will now be taking testimonials of those who experienced the Armenian Genocide. Funny, I just posted about the genocide and saw an article in the local news about it. The link to SHOAH foundation is at the title - click!

By the way, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY at NORTHRIDGE has just had an "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AWARENESS WEEK."  That's terrific!

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE : DVD and DECISION?

Recently it was in the news that Israel was undecided about recognizing the Armenian Genocide, a Holocaust by Ottoman Turks. I couldn't believe there was any question but I guess politics wins out over recognizing truth. You see officially the country of Turkey says that over one million Armenians died not at the hands of the Ottoman Turks but because there was a CIVIL WAR and so these one million dead people died because they were engaged. This Civil War coincides with World War I, by the way, and as a result many Armenians that had a way out came to the U.S.

Called the greatest story never told, I'm personally partial to the truth that this was a genocide.

You see, like the Holocaust during World War II, civilians were removed or chased from their home villages and marched - men, women, and children, people who were not in any military unit. I learned this and saw the photographic evidence by watching this video, the funding of which came from many Armenian Americans. The primary difference between Turks and Armenians was and is religion. The Turks - Muslims and the Armenians - Christians. Armenians in Turkey were true to their faith and felt the pressure to become more Turkish.

History repeats itself constantly with the violence of Muslims. I'm sorry, I really am, that so many Muslims here in the states say that this is not the essence of the religion and that terrorists are not main stream Muslims but if so, they seem to have little to no influence on their co-coreligionists who are so violent in the name of, or with the permission of, their religion.
Be it the Muslims breaking Pakistan off from India and Holocausting Hindus, the Ottoman Turks Holocausting Armenians, of Middle East Muslim terrorists flying planes into the World Trade Center, the distinction between official military and men, women, and children as common citizens who should not be attacked, marched, violated, starved, killed, or thrown over borders, seems to be a unrecognized. So I think Israel is being weak kneed, and the hell with Israel (or maybe shame on Israel), individuals such as myself CAN RECOGNIZE THE ARMENIAN HOLOCAUST!
For genealogy purposes, watching this film it is to understand the motivation for Armenians coming to the United States as immigrants and refugees.
