Remember Armenia

"The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century. This unpunished genocide laid the groundwork for future genocides, such as the Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda, and today Sudan. In fact, Adolf Hitler referenced the Armenian Genocide prior to executing the tragic Holocaust.

As Americans it is our duty not only to love, protect, and serve our own country, but to extend a helping hand to all those who are wronged and in need. We must reach out to our nation's leadership and urge them to seek justice for the Genocide, the unpunished and forgotten crime against humanity." (www.marchforhumanity.org)

These people are marching from Fresno to Sacramento in remembrance of the 1,500,000 victims who died in the Armenian Genocide. They were subjected to torture, starvation, and murcder by the rulers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in an attempt to eliminate all the people of this civilization. As of 2005 the Republic of Turkey denied this genocide's occurence.
