Let’s recognize what really happened
As many of you know, this is an issue near and dear to my heart…
I firmly believe the U.S. should officially recognize the horrific and historical atrocity of the Armenian Genocide, also known as the “Great Calamity.”
For those of you who don’t know about it: More than a million Armenian people were marched to their death during World War I and beyond. I know, the number is so staggering, I cannot even fathom it.
Right now MSNBC has posted a poll on the matter and I cannot believe how many people have voted “no.” I’m left to wonder if people are really aware of the gravity of the situation.
I voted “yes” and would appreciate it if you felt it in your heard to vote “yes” too.

That’s terrible! I have many Armenian friends (including 1 Armenian cousin) and I am very much familiar with the topic of Armenian Genocide. The people who voted are probably the Turkish people, anyways, so it doesn’t matter.
Obama promised that once he is in office he will push this issue and make sure that the Armenian Genocide bill passes. Lets hope! :)
Thanks for posting, Kim! You should really help the Armenian cause more often!

thank you for posting this blog! I am not very familiar with this but I think it is good to learn more about it and be able to raise awareness on such a horrible thing like genocide.

wow. i can’t believe people can be so mean. i have had many Armenian friends and they are so very dear. good luck and i will vote yes. My family is from El Salvador and we were torn by the war. I wish all those people who lost loved ones during that time can find some type of comfort. You really never get over loosing loved ones no matter how long ago it was. My grandfather was murdered 27 years ago and we can never forget how we lost him. Love you kim…
Kim,
I’m going to vote yes. Also I was wondering if you heard of that boy from Fresno that is Armenian who was being threatened to be deported back to Armenia because his parents entered here on a visa that was long expired. He was valedictorian of his class. Anyways genocide is one of the most horrendous acts that happens all over the world. I did a research report on Darfur and would appreciate if you looked into what is going on there.
It is so aweful that people don’t recognize genocide of any kind. I also voted yes.
i was not aware of this armenian genocide kim. i just read about it and its just amazing to me how unkind, inhumane, and brutal people can be. i am majoring in criminal justice and every time i hear about situations like this ir brutal happenings, its like they just light me up in fire inside.
this event youre talking about was very brutal to walk these people to their death, with no food, abuse, its plain disturbing.
i am mexican and love people of all nationalities. i would love to vote “yes” with you kim. all my support goes to the armenians.
I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO LOOK IN TO THE HISTORY OF THIS EVENT AND REALIZE THAT “YES” IS THE WAY TO VOTE.
LETS GIVE OUR SUPPORT.
I voted yes, too. I don’t understand how people could overlook such a thing.
i’m Cambodian and we also had a genocide called the Khmer Rouge about 30 years ago or so. but i don’t know if as many people were killed as in the Armenian genocide. but…i voted yes on this =)
WOW! So sad! I am glad you brought it up, I am going to go google and educate myself about it this evening!

i am armenian and i absolutely agree and i have voted yes
