Canadian Parliament Recognizes Armenian Genocide!!!!
 

OTTAWA - The House of Commons has reversed a long-standing policy and passed a resolution denouncing the Turks for committing genocide against Armenians in 1915.

The vote passed easily, 153-68.

The motion said: "That this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity."

For decades consecutive Canadian governments have dodged the sensitive issue by calling what happened in eastern Turkey a "tragedy," stopping well short of referring to the events as "genocide."

<b>IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!</b>

So what does this change? We have to call it genocide now? We can't call it an orgy anymore?

Have some respect motherfucker!:321GFY

I'm serious, it's all well and good that they recognize it for what it was now... better late than never but really... other than that... what difference does it make?

Well the thing is, before they denyed there was a genocide, turks even claimed that armenians massacred turks. And we need the support from every country to prove them wrong. I mean, they do have lots of proofs and facts and they still ignored us, so they could have their way with Turkey...

its about time.

Well, it was about time. But then again, what does that change?

Read What I said, and I hope my ppl back in Armenia will get reparations like the Jews!

do we have to deal with a bunch of Armenians now running around running their mouth about genocide now?

so many people have been killed off yet no one ever gives a fuck.

For example: The Hitler atrocities, all you ever here about are the jews that were killed. You RARELY, if ever hear about the what (50k) homosexuals they killed off?

Thewy finally got a statue or something just a few years ago.

these fucking people who cry and cry for their fucking genocide only do so for profit in my eyes.

Here in America we killed off the Natives, gave them camps and reserves, now they run casinos ;)

Will the Armneins have an ADL too?

Anti- Defamation League for armenians?

hahaha

I LONG for the days when PAGANS CRY for genocide agsainst us by you WITCH BURNING PATRIOTS!

cry babies

if you were Jewish, and they didn't accept the Holocaust, how would you feel?

how is it that you criticize and comment on people whom you have NO idea how these people feel inside? mourning for unexplained death and loss of land, churches, families and culture?

shame that you see a genocide, the murder of 1.5 million people in such a way... :2 cents:

Helps keep those barbarians out of the EU.

So now that they have voted and passed this resolution, whats next? Will there be any changes?

Turks are inbred retards

hopefully when it is globablly recognizes, they will impose to the turkish government to give back our land, our mountains, and also pay us huge sums of money to rebuild Armenia

somewhat like the germans are doing to the Jewish

Please do not compare the Jewish and Armenian Genocide! I would apreciate it. And we're not crying, we waited long for this when you ignore a tragedy for 90 years there's a fuckin problem! My Ancestors didn't run from it, because nobody knew it was coming. It happened quick and ruthless.

Did I say they shouldnt? No, so stop speaking hypotheitcal, we try to deal with reality here.

because you missed my post, you missed that I was SPEAKING UP for OTHERS WHO HAVE had GENCODIE happen to them, speaking up for the gays is not trying to understand their mourning and loss?

As I said, I long for the day you fucking cry babies start speaking up for the thousands of pagans and witches and every other fucker you christian bastards killed off, yet somehow Im supposed to feel sorry for everyone else, when you people wont recignize AMERICAN GENOCIDE?

hahaha

i wasnt putting anything down or saying anything bad about jewish holcaust but I DID expect someone like you to post some shit like this.

Anyway, its called the "holocaust industry" there is much work on it, and you can take my post for what you want.

i was speaking up for those who sit back without recognition, if that says to you i am non sympathetic or compassionate, you need to reread my post.

i should have said "******" instead of jews, i wouldnt have to make my point so evidently clear.

off to get some food, play amongst yourselves.

will never happen

slowly getting there
a few european countries have accepted it, and now Canada joins the team :thumbsup

only time will tell

Maybe Not Like The Jews, but we could get Something! Of course, that's if the US reconizes it too!

Fletch, to each his own dude

cheers :glugglug

tell that to my partner who's from Cyprus. One nice day of July 1974 the island was invaded and his family was kicked out.

shit happens all over the world dude, some events are greater than others, but they should all be set right

No doubt. Just trying to say that recognition of an event is not enough. Actually when time passes such situations become permanent we like it or not.

Yap! A lot of shit happened through out time! Race Wars, Religion Wars, Genocides, Bombs, Murders, I'm just saying all those injustice should be reconize by what they are! For respect to the victims at least...

Recognition, Restoration, Reparation

Turkey? Pfff, they'd even go with another genocide if they can. The Turkish government is pretty screwed up and abuses of human rights are quite frequent.

And since Turkey have a decent military, no country will bother to push that issue.

ok, good... I thought I was gonna get yelled at. So I'm not the only one who doesn't understand what exact this recognition will affect?

its a question of respect....if you're ignoring it ...you're denying it... maxdaname & bdjuf have a point, just respect what their ancestor have lived...maybe they'll not get anything but i think these people, dead by this genocide, can now rest in peace if this tragedy is now something official and not something taboo or underground....

Different uses for different people?

was Armenia part of Turkey/ Ottoman empire in the past ??

and how did it become part of Soviet Union ?
