of pain during last 100 years. Anatolia, which was a mosaic of
different nations, lost its entire colors only for becoming homogenous
nation. First of all non-Muslim nations were expelled, losing
everything they had. Those who managed to stay were merged, and if not
were destroyed. Nevertheless, the most horrible happened to the most
ancient owners of these lands, Armenian, in 1915. On April 24, 1915
Armenian nation was massacred. In order to commemorate this tragedy we
call on our compatriots to pay tribute to their memory,’ it is noted
in the message.
