Re: New pogrom against the Armenians and Greeks in Istanbul?
Eti, your mothers family indeed would have if they didn't emigrate to Turkey. I hope you realize that Christians in Anatolia also were in the same situation, Greeks in Western Anatolia fortunately made it out in time under the population exchanges between Greece and Turkey.
However, Armenians in Eastern Anatolia weren't so lucky. There was no Armenian state for them to emigrate to, and thus no population exchange. They along with their culture were exterminated by Eastern Anatolian Muslims who today identify themselves as Kurds. These Kurds were exploited by the wretched Turanists controlling the Ottoman State at the time.
Don't you feel any shame that a land inhabited for thousands of years by Armenians, has now absolutely no trace of their culture?
