Turkey bans a memorial for the Armenian genocide
Turkey continues its racist contempt for Armenians as the capitol city, Istanbul, banned a memorial for victims of the Armenian Genocide during WW1:
Update: in a semi-related subject, Armenian organizations were outraged by how Joe Biden failed to raise the issue of Arsakh, and the slaughter of Christians in the area by Azerbaijan.
Officials in Istanbul banned a ceremony attempting to mark the anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian genocide organized for Wednesday, an event perpetrated by the last remnants of the Ottoman Empire and continuously denied by Ankara to this day.You can be sure the anti-semitic demonstrators in the USA and Europe, carrying on with their repulsive tirades at Columbia University, in example, are also very sympathetic to Turkey and the Religion of Peace's positions on the issue, and hostile to Armenians. It's vital to consider Islam was the driving factor both during WW1's tragedy, and also the October 7, 2023 bloodbath by Hamas. And also the jihad bloodbath that occurred in Hebron in 1929. That's what makes these issues so horrific. Meanwhile, Turkey strikes again with their autocratic, racist offenses.
The Turkish outlet Bianet initially reported on Monday that a group in Istanbul called the “April 24 Commemoration Platform,” named after the day marking the beginning of the genocide, attempted to formally organize a public event on that day to honor the victims of the genocide. The event would have reportedly taken place in front of the Süreyya Opera House in Kadıköy district, Istanbul. The Istanbul Governor’s Office did not grant approval for the event. Bianet did not specify if the Istanbul Governor’s Office offered any reasoning for the ban.
While the Turkish government has never full acknowledged the genocide, prior to the rise of the Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP), similar solemn memorial events were allowed. In a report on Istanbul’s recent history of marking the event published in October, author Özgür Sevgi Göral, observed that growing social awareness of the genocide and recognition of other atrocities by the Turkish government was growing but appeared to come to a halt following the rise of the AKP as a political heavyweight in 2003.
