** In a blog titled it's under my bed, it's never been read from my first little fib to my latest attempt , an Armenian blogger calls herself "K" posted many pictures about the Armenian Genocide, and some Excerpts from Black Dog of Fate: An American Son Uncovers His Armenian Past by Peter Balakian, and quotes by Adolf Hitler, Yossi Beilin, Talat Pasha, Henry Morgenthau Sr., Theodore Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, and many others in a post titled "GENOCIDE ."

Whether you are Armenian or not, it is important that you know and understand the importance of today.
April 24th is commemorated worldwide by Armenians as Genocide Memorial Day.





** Timothy Birdnow, wrote in his blog called Birdblog, published a post titled "Anniversary of a Forgotten Genocide"

Today marks the anniversary of the forgotten genocide ; on April 24, 1915 Turkish soldiers began a campaign of extermination against the Christian Armenian people who inhabited Ottoman controlled land in the Caucuses.

Let us not allow the Armenian deaths be in vain! We must remember them, pray for them, and keep them in our consciousness, lest this dreadful act of hatred be repeated!



** "Today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day" was the title of the article that appeared in Christian Johnson's blog Cinerati


This last weekend I noticed a lot of cars in my neighborhood displaying the Armenian flag. Living in Glendale, I didn't have to think long to determine why so many of my fellow citizens were proudly displaying their patriotic loyalty to Armenia. Today is the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. There is a lot I could write, but I
will instead quote Teddy Roosevelt.



** And of course, the neat coverage of the event in some of the 91st commemoration places in USA that's provided by Inch es asum?! blog, she reported some details about the demonistrations in Washington DC , and the confronting Turkish protest with pictures, here are some of them
