On April 24th 1915, commemorated worldwide by Armenians as Genocide Memorial Day, hundreds of Armenian leaders were murdered in Istanbul after being summoned and gathered. It is estimated that one and a half million Armenians perished between 1915 and 1923. There were an estimated two million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire on the eve of W.W.I. Well over a million were deported in 1915. Hundreds of thousands were butchered outright. Many others died of starvation, exhaustion, and epidemics which ravaged the concentration camps.
IT IS TIME TO STAND UP WITH REST OF THE WORLD.INDIA PLEASE PASS THE ARMENIA RESOLUTION.

Hi!!! U touched a very important issue that shows brutality (too soft to express) of human. The Turks not only killed them in Istanbul, but also at Karabagh and many other places. The whole country went into a trauma, which will haunt them for decades to come. I know about it more personally since my wife and daughters are Armenian and I am a frequent visitor to Armenia. BTW, why did u opt for such a nick name that reminds me of another cruel person? This very person invaded India and killed many people way back in history. I would like to hear more from you and u can get in touch with me by email (jaysankarde@rediffmail.com). Best regards...Jay
