Massacres in Asiatic Turkey: Armenians burned alive in Catholic church in Adana

-Front cover of La Domenica del Corriere (16-23 May 1909)

[NikosChristodoulides @Christodulides]

43 χρόνια από την παράνομη και μονομερή ανακήρυξη του ψευδοκράτους από την Τουρκία, που το σύνολο της διεθνούς κοινότητας καταδίκασε από την πρώτη στιγμή ως έκνομη ενέργεια. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας των Ηνωμένων Εθνών με τα Ψηφίσματα 541 του 1983 και 550 του 1984, καταδίκασε απερίφραστα την αποσχιστική ενέργεια της Τουρκίας, χαρακτηρίζοντάς την νομικά άκυρη, καλώντας όλα τα κράτη να μην αναγνωρίσουν το παράνομο μόρφωμα και να μην του παράσχουν την οποιαδήποτε βοήθεια.

Παρά τις διαχρονικές προσπάθειες της Άγκυρας για αναβάθμιση και νομιμοποίηση της αποσχιστικής οντότητας, η θέση της διεθνούς κοινότητας παραμένει σαφής και ξεκάθαρη αφού από την παρανομία δεν μπορεί να παραχθεί δίκαιο.

Η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία, Κράτος Μέλος των Ηνωμένων Εθνών και της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, αναβαθμίζεται συνεχώς, ενισχύοντας όλους τους παράγοντες ισχύος της χώρας και, μέσα από συγκεκριμένες πρωτοβουλίες και δράσεις, αναδεικνύεται ως ευρωπαϊκός πυλώνας ασφάλειας και σταθερότητας στην ιδιαιτέρως σημαντική περιοχή της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου και της ευρύτερης Μέσης Ανατολής.

Δεν θα παύσουμε να αγωνιζόμαστε με όλα τα διπλωματικά και πολιτικά μέσα που διαθέτουμε, μέχρι την ημέρα της απελευθέρωσης και της επανένωσης της πατρίδας μας.

Πάνω απο όλα, η Κύπρος 🇨🇾🇪🇺

Turkey has been illegally occupying our ally Cyprus for 52 years, violating several international treaties,@UN Security Council resolutions and the democratic principles of @NATO. As Erdogan increases his threatening rhetoric and aggressive tactics in the region, it is critical for the United States to stand with Cyprus in support of freedom and call on Turkey to adhere to international law, remove all Turkish troops and allow Greek Cypriot inhabitants forced into refuge to return. @USEmbassyCyprus @cyprusinusa

If the Ottomans and modern Turkey were so tolerant toward Greeks, explain the reality on the ground today:

Why are there only ~2,000 Greeks left in Constantinople, a city founded and built by Greeks?

Why have entire Greek Christian communities vanished from Anatolia?

Why is Greek almost never spoken there anymore?

Why have their most sacred, historic churches been turned into mosques?

You don't get to brag about “tolerance”while celebrating physical and cultural genocide.

Massie: Reported death tolls from the strikes on the elementary school indicate that at least 156 civilians were killed, with some reports suggesting the civilian death toll surpassed 170. 

Those killed include at least 120 school children, 26 teachers, seven parents attempting to evacuate their children, a school bus driver, a pharmacy technician from a nearby clinic, and the six month old unborn child of one of the teachers also killed in the attack.

While @SecRubio
speaks in Athens about defending Western civilization—born in ancient Greece, shaped by Rome and Christendom—Ambassador Tom Barrack stands in silence praising Atatürk, whose forces oversaw the mass killing and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians. Whose ambassador is this, exactly? It is not America’s.

[Naren Briar @NarenBriar]

Very cool seeing the former CEO of Apple praise the man Hitler called his “teacher.” The guy who massacred the Kurds at Dersim, kept stolen Armenian property, and built the state that still denies the Armenian Genocide.

“The Turkish govt would have been much wiser if years ago it faced its history and said [to Armenians], ‘If you have property deeds, if you have claims, or people died, let’s try to resolve it. . .’”*

“. . .Many Armenian women preferred to throw themselves into the Euphrates with their babes, or have committed suicide in their homes. The Euphrates and the Tigris have become the grave of 1000s of Armenians.”

We just learned Idaho paid hunters $2,000 for every newborn wolf pup they killed. Meanwhile, Trump is working to weaken the Endangered Species Act, putting imperiled wildlife at even greater risk.

This is an abomination. There’s no undoing extinction.

The administration is trying to make it easier to kill wolves in Colorado. Even though citizens voted to bring them back. 🐺

On Oct. 27, Burgum signed an order to review how Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) decides when to kill wolves, and whether ranchers are being paid enough for livestock losses.

It also says Interior could change the rules so Colorado can act faster when wolves threaten livestock.

Colorado has about 45 wolves compared to its 2.5 million cattle.

The wolves are barely hanging on.

But Colorado is different from other states. Coloradans voted to bring wolves back, and the state built a plan around that vote.

CPW already pays ranchers for livestock killed or missing. Coloradans' tax money already helps pay for it. More than $700,000 was approved for 2025. The order looks at whether that's enough.

The review is due Nov. 11. Then the Fish and Wildlife Service hands Colorado its recommendations. That includes changes to the agreement that lets the state manage its wolves. Under Colorado voters' plan, killing a wolf without authorization is illegal. That can mean fines, losing hunting privileges, even jail.

In early September, CPW killed three young wolves from three different packs after livestock attacks. They say the ranchers tried to stop those wolves without killing them.

Why not just move them? That's been tried, and wolves don't know boundary lines. The answer isn't more dead wolves. It's teaching ranchers how to use nonlethal tools, and helping them do it.

It can work. In Idaho, a seven-year study found ranchers using guard dogs, people on the ground and lights lost 3.5 times fewer sheep than nearby areas that leaned on killing wolves.

Colorado's program is woefully inadequate. It has 13 range riders for millions of acres.

And the wolf issue is bigger than Colorado. Trump signed an executive order attempting to delist gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves.

Then Trump told ranchers they can shoot 'em. Rollins said they can't, because wolves are still on the endangered species list.

Nobody in Washington asked the wolves. They didn't ask Colorado's voters either. Speak up for the wolves. The review is due Nov. 11. Petition is in the first reply.

6 Nov 1882: Medical missionary and humanitarian Maria Jacobsen is born in Siim, Denmark.

She would save 1000s of Armenian genocide orphans. And adopt 3 herself.

The rescued children called her “mayrig” (mama).

Diyarbakır Surp Giragos Ermeni Kilisesi ve Agos Gazetesi çalışanı Armen Demirciyan da bu dünyaya veda etti. Demirciyan, Daha önce hayatı ile ilgili şöyle demişti;

-"1961'de #Diyarbakır'da doğdum. Herkes bana 'babfıle' diyordu; kimi aşağılamak, kimi de beni sevdiği için. 'Gâvur tohumu',
'gâvur çocuğu' gibi karşılığı var. 1915'te dedem, ninem ve 3 amcam öldürülmüş.
25 yaşına kadar #Kürt kimligiyle
büyüdüm. Bundan sonra #Ermeni tarihiyle, kültürüyle, sanatıyla, kimligiyle, müziğiyle yaşayıp ölmek istiyorum. Bu nedenle Ermenice kursuna gittim, Ermeniceyi öğrendim. Adım Armen Demirciyan. Çok seviyorum adımı da soyadımı da."
