Nah that is making excuses. They could have just sent a ambassador there and sent the queen or prince to Armenia. Britain has always wanted us dead and gone just to hurt Russia and to cozy up to the turk.

Foolishly insult everyone and anyone, act like you own the place when you own next to nothing, claim that everyone wants to destroy you just because you are so important (while claiming at the same time you are weak and need protection and aid), and expect unquestioned and consistent support from the very same people you repeatedly insult.

Putin to attend Genocide centenary in Armenia

Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend ceremonies marking 100 years since the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire in April, the Kremlin said on Thursday.

Armenia is hosting the commemoration for those killed by Ottoman forces in World War I in its capital on April 24.

“Yes, he will fly to Yerevan,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told AFP, adding the Russian leader had discussed the issue with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian by telephone on Thursday.

European Parliament Urges EU States to Recognize Armenian Genocide

STRASBOURG—The European Parliament on Thursday approved its Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World, in which it urged all European countries to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

“Ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, [the European Parliament calls] on all the Member States legally to acknowledge it, and encourages the Member States and the EU institutions to contribute further to its recognition,” paragraph 77 of the report states.

In welcoming the adoption of the report, the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy said it expects the European Union to put pressure on Turkey and urge that country to recognize the Genocide.

“The EAFJD welcomes the resolution adopted today by the European Parliament, which puts Human Rights on top of almost all negotiations with third parties and countries. We were expecting this report since a few years now, when the post of the European Union Special Representative for Human Rights was created, to advance European Union values during negotiations, be it on foreign policy, trade, energy or any other cooperation with third countries,” said a statement issued by the advocacy group on Thursday.

“It should also be noted, that all vulnerable groups, minorities and peoples are being protected under this resolution, which is immensely necessary in these times of racism, xenophobia, and the turmoil in the Middle East, the European Neighborhood and the World as a whole,” concluded the EAFJD statement.

Last week, the Political Assembly of the European People’s Party (EPP), the largest political group in the European Parliament, adopted a resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide, and calling on Turkey to recognize it.

The resolution entitled ‘The Armenian Genocide, Turkish Responsibility, and European Values’ reaffirms EPP’s “recognition and condemnation of the Genocide and Great National Dispossession of the Armenian people on the eve of its 100th Anniversary on 24 April 2015”. The resolution emphasizes the incontrovertible evidence documented in the archives of several western states, including Germany, United Kingdom, USA, France, that the “Armenian Genocide… was perpetuated by the Young Turk Government in the final years of the Ottoman Empire.“ The resolution also criticizes the destruction of thousands of Armenian cultural monuments in Turkey.

The largest political group of the European Parliament calls on Turkey inter alia “to face history and finally recognize the ever-present reality of the Armenian Genocide”, “make restitution appropriate for a European country, including but not limited to ensuring a right of return of the Armenian people to, and a secure reconnection with, their national hearth…”

Nothing you said in this rant is true. But I don't think that matters to you anyways.

Re: The 100th Anniversary - and Events to Mark it

Yes, its Jingle bell........the one who insults everyone, act like he own the place when he own next to nothing. Don't you know bells that no one can destroy you, you are just too important while you wine about getting trolled, and you expect unquestioned and consistent support from the very same people you repeatedly insult (the Mod team).

Re: The 100th Anniversary - and Events to Mark it

Armenian trash like the above 3 posters are the main reason why the word "alleged" or words "Armenian allegations" will continue to go alongside the phrase "Armenian Genocide" into 2016 and into the foreseeable future. And those sad little jerks will blame everyone but themselves for that, because they need to hate and need to hide their incompetence and also because they would not have a clue how to exist in a scenario where "alleged" was no longer used.
