My Lord,
SITUATION IN TURKISH DISTRICTS NEAR SYRIAN NORTHERN FRONTIER.-
I have the honour to report that on November 8 the Turks gave notice to the Armenians of Aintab & Marash and of the district, stretching Eastward to Birejik, that they must all leave the country in a month. This is done in pursuance of the policy that no Christians are to be allowed to stay in Turkey.
Aintab which formerly held 40000 Armenians now contains only 3000.
The French Consular Representative in Aintab, Mr. de Sandfort, has been transferred to Adana and has not been replaced.
I have the honor to be,
With the highest respect,

Humble servant

The extermination of Armenians is one of the most documented atrocities in world history, up to the same degree as the accounts and evidences that exist describing the Holocaust. So, there is no doubt that it did happen. However, admitting to the crime is another thing.
In the same way, we can recall that up to this time there are still many revisionist people who continue to deny that the Holocaust ever happened.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry insists that “it has been accused of something that never happened in history.” With such statements coming straight from the horse’s mouth - what kind of diplomacy is possible? Damage control is possible.

The U.S. has mission critical supply routes that run through Turkey and provide crucial strategic support to U.S. troops in Iraq.

Yes it happened. I personally knew an Armenian lady whos family had to escape from her homeland to save their lives from the Turks. She was 3 years old at the time and remembered being put inside a basket on a donkey and as they crossed a river the water rose up inside the basket. Her fear was so great she remembers the escape.
She is dead now and lived to a very very old age but she lost family that the Turks murdered and she lost her heritage and homeland. Turks are scum. And I say this knowing I have ancestors who were Turks.

they're under no pressure to acknowledge it from the NWO- they want Turkey as an vital strategic ally to the West and Israel, the pressure unfortunately is on the exposers....the injustice continues...
