TURKISH SCHOLAR: ISLAMIC STATE HAS REMEMBERED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

11:55, 13.03.2015

The Armenian Genocide claimed millions of lives and tormented the
fate of thousands of women.

Ugur Umit Ungor, a Dutch scholar of Turkish origin, stated the
aforesaid at a conference in the Hague, and devoted to the Armenian
Genocide, reported the Reformatorisch Dagblad newspaper of the
Netherlands.

“The difference between the [Armenian] Genocide and the [Jewish]
Holocaust is that the women and girls were not always killed during the
Armenian Genocide. Maybe some would say, ‘at least they were saved,’
but they were raped and forced to cohabit with Turks and Kurds for
numerous years; and this is a tragedy which you can’t escape.

Genocide is not only taken, but also tormented lives,” the Turkish
scholar noted.

He added that the tragedy of Deir ez-Zor, Syria, continues today.

“How do the Islamic State militants explain their murders? [They say]
the people [there] have to die, since Armenians also were among their
forebears,” Ungor noted.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
