Today a small nation called Armenia is because of the horrific events that took place from 1915 to 1923, the Armenian genocide. In present Armenia is a ghost of the same Armenia that once stretched from sea to sea. And today Turkey still plays the same dirty politics that it used to play a century ago to hide its bloody hands. Turkish government has one mission; deny the Armenian Genocide anyway possible. And the best way to do that is to make life in Armenia miserable by blockading all the means of transportation in and out of the country. It is the oldest trick in the book to lay a siege and the city will fall sooner or later. Turkey is just waiting for Armenia to plead in desperation to open the borders with Turkey and in turn promise not to pursue the Armenian genocide recognition. Turkey's hideous plan was brilliant and it almost worked if only the Armenian Diaspora did not intervene. At a crucial time when Armenia's fate was about to be decided, the Armenian people all around the world rose and said we WILL NEVER give in... As is the case of the Holocaust which followed shortly after the Armenian genocide. And on August 22, 1939 Hitler said, "Who after all speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?". Then followed Rwanda, former Yugoslavia, Darfur, Sudan... And even before the word "Genocide" was invented, many genocides had already occurred throughout the history. Humanity has to learn from its mistakes by making sure that justice is served. Only then future genocides would be prevented and ultimately that dreadful word should be obsolete. Until then we have a lot of work to do.
