The Armenian Genocide is rarely talked about despite being comparable to a Christian Holocaust(second of course to Stalin's genocide in Soviet Russia). The Genocide took place in modern Turkey where 1.5 million Armenian Christians where killed in a bloody Genocide by Ottoman Muslims. They where taken from their homes and cruelly murdered often being decapitated or crucified or hung. Their bodies dumped into mass graves never to be spoken of again. It saddens me that this tragedy is not spoken of as much as it should be. Turkey denies this mass murder and attempts to discredit the deaths, but the absence of an entire ethnic group is a hard thing to do. The uncovering of the mass graves and other historical photos makes denying this atrocity that much harder. Almost all countries recognize this genocide except for Turkey and oddly enough Israel.
