The massacres of the Ottomans against the Armenians are crimes against humanity

The genocide crimes committed by the Ottomans against the Armenians were described  as “The most horrific crimes against humanity”  witnessed by all mankind and a stain in the history of Turkey , awaiting justice and retribution for the spirits  of the innocent victims of the massacre.

The number of victims of the genocide committed by the Ottoman colonialists is  about one and a half million Armenians who fell victim to heinous racist crimes and  mass killings   between 1915 and 1923.

Some of the  victims  faced  harsh conditions without food or drink as  the criminals of the Ottoman militias raced to kill  pregnant women ,  children and the elderly  in cold blood.

In conjunction with  the  106th anniversary of these horrific crimes today , their antrocities  are still  alive, awaiting justice from the successive ruling regimes of Turkey, which for decades have denied these massacres, accompanied by arrests, executions, displacement, confiscation of property, and burning of Armenian cities and villages as part of a Turanian trend that sought to establish an Ottoman empire.

 The organized campaign launched by the Ottomans to exterminate the Armenians included two massacres, which were followed by genocide, as the Ottomans took advantage of the world’s preoccupation with World War I to start campaigns to forcibly displace Armenians. The Ottoman authorities then released all the imprisoned killers and formed them militias   to accompany the deported Armenians to Aleppo in Syria and during that journey the most horrific crimes against humanity were committed .

 Passing  a hundred and six years of the  genocide crimes against Armenians,   does not mean its downfall by statute of limitations, especially since the practices of the president of the Turkish regime, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are similar  in their ugliness and crimes to  what his predecessors committed against the Armenians by pursuing a policy of murder, terrorism and aggression on the Syrian lands and the countries of the region in order to fulfill his obsolete Ottoman illusions.

More than 31 countries, in addition to several organizations, have recognized the truth of the genocide, and the Syrian People’s Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution last year that recognized  and condemned  the crime of genocide. All this is an evidence that the black stain of murder persecutes the successive Turkish governments that tried to promote the idea that the crime of genocide are unfortunate events that occurred out of control of the Ottoman Empire.

The crimes of the Ottomans against the Armenians are still considered the biggest and most horrible  massacre in modern history, and while the spirits  of the victims are chasing those who are in succession to rule Turkey awaiting justice, these crimes remain a permanent stigma that haunts them over the years.
