WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUY THE POSSIBLE SECOND ARMENIAN GENOCIDE!! my armenian friend just told me all about what’s going on and it sounds like a humanitarian crisis about to happen; A THREAD OF INFORMATION, HISTORY, AND WAYS TO HELP #istandwitharmenia
this isn’t the first time something like this had happened. here is a brief history of the 1915 Armenian genocide
HERE IS THE HISTORY:

-In 1915 about 2 million Armenians were living in the Ottoman Empire. During WW1 around 1.5 MILLION armenians were slaughtered and tortured, however many escaped.
-The group causing the genocide is known as “the young turks”
WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING:

-After the end of the genoice the turkish and azurbaijan governments instead of making reparations, let armenophobia run rampent and unchecked.
-this has lead to a rise in hate crimes and alt right anti-armenian political groups
-an example of this is the grey wolves, a neo-facist ultranationalist extremist group that has protested against commemorations of the genocide and have carried out multiple attacks on the armenian people.
-the turkish president called to continue the genocide
SO WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, AND WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?

Over the past few weeks,
-Azurs&Turks have started beating up armenian children and elders and an alarming rate
-Armenian peoples businesses have been burned down
-Armenian people are being murdered at an alarmingly higher rate
-Armenian schools have been vandalized
-Chainsaws and swords have been brought against protests
-and so so much more horrible horrible violence.
