Today marks the 105th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide by the Young Turk secularists (namely the Three Pashas). Between 700k to 1.8 million Armenians were massacred over nine years.
Young Turks had deposed the Sultan & usurped power from their rival group to assume absolute power over the Caliphate. The hatred for Armenians was pure ethnic chauvinism and resulted in blood-curling cruelty. Here is one of their cadres teasing starving children with bread.
The deposed caliph Sultan Abdul Majid II said, "I refer to those awful massacres. They are the greatest stain that has ever disgraced our nation and race. They were entirely the work of Talat and Enver (two of the three pashas)"
Ataturk said in 1926 that the Young Turk Party was responsible for "...millions of our Christian subjects who were ruthlessly driven en masse from their homes and massacred"
Mehmet Celel Bey was Governor of Aleppo when he used his position to save Armenian lives. For his services he was known as the Turkish Schindler.
Hitler of course took the lesson from the genocide that perpetrators were seldom punished. He said to the Wehrmacht, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"
These were the Three Pashas or Three Shayateens who perpetrated the genocide. They, along with every Turk who knowingly took part in this is responsible.
