“The Turks killed us in a barbaric way... They killed my father in front of me, separated my mother from me. She was holding a two and a half years old daughter Shnorik. ...They took me and other Armenian boys away. It is not a thing to forget”.-Hayk Aharonyan, #Genocide Survivor

10. The implications of #ArmenianGenocide have been immense. Its denial and impunity inspired the other crimes against humanity. In 1939, before the atrocities against Jews and Poles, Hitler stated, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

9. According to the U.S. #HolocaustMemorialMuseum, “tens of thousands of Armenian children were forcibly removed from their families and converted to Islam” because the Ottoman government wanted them to assimilate into Turkish society.

#Hommage Le 24 avril 1915, 600 notables arméniens sont assassinés à Constantinople sur ordre du gouvernement. C’est le début d’un génocide qui coûtera la vie à 1,2 millions de personnes : les deux-tiers des Arméniens de l’Empire ottoman.
Ne les oublions pas.
