Armenia remembers WW1 “genocide”
Maybe not the best transition after my last post that has been some kind of funny but it’s something that was in the news yesterday and I can’t forget: The WW1 genocide of Armenians. It’s in my opinion very similar to the Holocaust and the denial of it is a shame for Turkey! It seems [...]
