Thank you for all stars and your visit, my dear friend!

Thanks for the stars. I looked through your photos; all I have to say is that it takes guts to willingly look into the eyes of humanity's pain. Keep exposing our truth.

your photos are disturbing but truly speaks a lot about human life and poverty

thank you for the star. very pictures are very moving.

I wish you all the best dear Aghed !

I have included a link on this page in my information section to the right on top to a short documentary on Youtube
" Turkish Soup Made With Armenian Bones" interesting to see.

wow-how are we to find peace?

Powerful!

TYVM for your visit to my pool and your many faves.

Very powerful! Keep it up! It is amazing what people can do to one another - they don't realize that they are brothers and sisters.

Aghed I admire your courage and spirit. BRAVO!

Mother's breast dried from fear.

Man is his own worsed enemy! Its a wonder as to how we have not yet terminated our own istance, and still that may happen yet. Looking at these photos there are no words to be able to express the shame, abhoration of such acts, such acts are beyond satininsm. Such acts are beyond reason or understanding of humanity yet they are constantly repeated throughout our existance, will we ever learn the basic message of all mankind is "Peace, Honor, Compassion and Unity".

:)

Parév Aghed!
Wat good feeling, right choice, the exclusive photo of "Dee "Me....And You" in your "collection" !!
All the best to you...Arève

The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Հայոց Ցեղասպանություն, translit.: Hayoc’ C’eġaspanowt’yown; Turkish: Ermeni Soykırımı) – also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, as the Great Crime (Մեծ Եղեռն, Mec Eġeṙn, Armenian pronunciation: [mɛts jɛˈʁɛrn]) – refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide) of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I.[1] It was implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees. The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million.[2][3][4][5][6] Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Ottoman Empire during this period, including Assyrians and Greeks, and some scholars consider those events to be part of the same policy of extermination.[7][8][9]

It is widely acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides,[10][11][12] as scholars point to the systematic, organized manner in which the killings were carried out to eliminate the Armenians,[13] and it is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust.[14] The word genocide[15] was coined in order to describe these events.[16] [17]

The starting date of the genocide is conventionally held to be April 24, 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.[18][19] Thereafter, the Ottoman military uprooted Armenians from their homes and forced them to march for hundreds of miles, depriving them of food and water, to the desert of what is now Syria. Massacres were indiscriminate of age or gender, with rape and other sexual abuse commonplace.

The Republic of Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, denies the word genocide is an accurate description of the events (see, Denial of the Armenian Genocide).[20] In recent years, it has faced repeated calls to accept the events as genocide. To date, twenty countries have officially recognized the events of the period as genocide, and most genocide scholars and historians accept this view.[21][22][23][24] The majority of Armenian diaspora communities were founded as a result of the Armenian genocide.

Thank you for the star for dream hotel !

Many women and young girls threw themselves in the river, prefering to die that way than being raped.

Thank you for the stars!

thanxx for the staRs... continue the good work!

Thank you for the stars!

It's difficult seeing these photos without having such a profound emotional connection to the event.

Dead bodies were being searched for jewelry and money to steal.
They stole their lives now they are stealing their jewelry.

Thank you for showing these images, I know how it feels. Good work.

My dear aghed ... I still missing words when i speak to you ... However... I want to tell you that i keep in my heart every words from you... every one of your actions....

As difficult as it was to view these photos, I appreciate you're making me aware of something that I knew nothing about. We don't like to look at what man (even ourselves) are capable of when we have zero compassion for others. I found this information on Wiki:
The starting date of the genocide is conventionally held to be April 24, 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.[18][19] Thereafter, the Ottoman military uprooted Armenians from their homes and forced them to march for hundreds of miles, depriving them of food and water, to the desert of what is now Syria. Massacres were indiscriminate of age or gender, with rape and other sexual abuse commonplace.

The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million.

My grandfather was shot in the head. They cut the beard of the priest of their village and then shot him.

These are strong images, so painful, I never new about the Armenian genocide, thanks for bringing to my attention.
