I find it a bit odd watching the Turks throw a hissy fit over the Pope's use of the word Genocide to describe the Armenian GENOCIDE. 1.5 MILLION Armenians were rounded up and systematically and ruthlessly murdered in an orchestrated campaign that Hitler cited as his inspiration for the Holocaust.
It's not as if they are unfamiliar with word. Indeed, Erdogan has recently accused Israel of a "systematic genocide" against the Palestinians. This is odd if you consider that the Palestinian population and percentage of Palestinians in the population is purportedly on the rise. Maybe he just doesn't know what the word genocide means?
I think that this is entirely possible if you consider that just this week both the Iranian "Supreme Leader" Ayatollah Khamenei and the Hizballah "Supreme Leader" Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of Genocide in Yemen after 600 people have died in fighting. But heck, why should you let the facts get in the way of a good story?
Meanwhile, the Iranians are at it again with a Holocaust-denial cartoon competition...
