Re: Armenia to mark 90th anniversary of Ottoman massacres

The 20th Century's first genocide was of the world's first Christian nation.


    Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II (2nd R) speaks as Armenian
    President Robert Kocharyan (2nd L) attends a ceremony at the
    memorial to the dead, to mark the 90th anniversary of the mass
    killing of Armenians in Yerevan, April 24, 2005. Hundreds of
    thousands of people clutching tulips, carnations and daffodils
    climbed a hill in Armenia's capital on Sunday to lay wreaths and
    remember the 1.5 million they say were killed 90 years ago in
    Ottoman Turkey.
The man formerly known as Cardinal Ratzinger was right: Muslim Turkey has no place in the European Union. Remember 1683!
