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”
