Ani, regarding the Armenian genocide. Do you think it's intentionally not talked about? Or do you think since it happened in 1915 that the details are kind of sketchy. Ive noticed that the level of detail of battles in WWI and WWII is far different. Im not trying to add to the secret vibe around the genocide, Im just curious about your thoughts.
Mike-Several things. People are not aware and part of that is its not in any history books. Atleast not when I was younger. And I seriously doubt it now. And in some sense I think its intentionally not discussed. There is a lot of politics behind it.
Jess-Hope you have fun with the quiz.
Well that's what feeding my curiosity. As someone who is well read on the subject, I'm asking you why do you think so little is mentioned about the genocide? I don't recall learning about it in school, or ever hearing mention before I met you. Is it just supressed in the US? Is it taught about in schools in the former Soviet Union and other parts of the world? The book you mentioned seems to the imply the Unite States has something to hide when it comes to the genocide.
I too knew nothing about the Armenian Genocide till I met you and I was always good at history. I don't remember it being in our history books growing up. I agree that if we (the US) didn't have military alliance with Turkey (TUK GAN CHIN!) people would know more about the genocide.
I don't know why its not mentioned. I'd like to know also. Niel nailed it though. America and Turkey has always had an alliance. Or people just don't care. When April 24 comes rolling around there is no mention of it on tv to commmorate the day. The book I mentioned in my previous entry is something you may want to look into if you are more curious.
Yeah I remember that the US used some Turkish airfields to do some bombing runs in Iraq and possibly Afghanistan as well. Not sure how far back the alliance goes with Turkey.
I asked my friend Eugene who grew up in the Ukraine if he remembers learning anything about the Armenian genocide, and he said no as well. So I don't think it's just a US thing. I wonder if kids today learn about the slaughtering of the Kurds in the former Yugoslavia.
I guess since Armenia is a small country, it doesnt get as much exposure. Before I met you, I didn't even know where Armenia was. If Hitler invaded Poland and stopped there, probably wouldn't have started a World War. But once he occupied France, started bombing England and moving towards Russia, it raised some eyebrows.
I can totally understand your frustration. Thanks for recommending the book. Do they have any theories in the book as to why they think the genocide story is so hush hush?
Pretty much just what we discussed is in the book. There are tons of books on the subject and Armenians in general. I am so shocked Eugene did not know about it. Some people do know and some just don't. I think it may be a combination of not enough awareness and people just not caring.
Just wanted to let you know that on your post about Armenia, no option comes up to "post a comment". I'd never heard of it until now. Really. I don't know but I think there is a lot of things that are "left out" of our news and history. I mean, look at Rwanda and that was not even too long ago. We hardly even knew about what was happening.
I like your quiz. I'll try to post it.
That's what I'm saying. Why? When you post the quiz. I will read it.
I'm going to steal your quiz.. :)
The first time I heard about the Armenian genocide was last year on your blog. I distinctly remember clicking on the link you provided, seeing photos and stories, and being amazed that I had never heard of it.
It was not in our history books. Truth be told (and I'm embarrassed to admit it) I don't think I even heard of Armenia during high school, and mine was one of the top ones in the area.
Anyway, thank you for teaching us about it.
