THESSALONIKI, Greece: Riot police clashed briefly with demonstrators
outside the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki Tuesday, during a protest
over the mass killings of Armenians by Turks in the early 20th century.

Police said some 200 Greek Armenian protesters tried to break past a
police cordon outside the consulate building. No injuries or arrests
were reported.

Demonstrators chanted slogans and burnt a Turkish flag during the
protest, held to commemorate the massacre of up to 1.5 million
Armenians between 1915 and 1919 in what is now eastern Turkey.

“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
