Pope Francis denounced what he called the ideologically twisted and planned "genocide" of Armenians by Ottoman-era Turks a century ago as he arrived in Armenia on Friday for a deeply symbolic visit to mark the centenary of the massacre and pay homage to the country's steadfast Christian faith.

In the most carefully watched speech of his three-day trip, Francis ad-libbed the politically charged word "genocide" to his prepared text that had conspicuously left it out, listing the Armenian genocide alongside the Holocaust and Stalinism.

"Sadly that tragedy, that genocide, was the firsthand of the deplorable series of catastrophes of the past century, made possible by twisted racial, ideological or religious aims that darkened the minds of the tormentors even to the point of planning the annihilation of entire peoples," he said.

So the Turks are responsible for the Armenian genocide and you have no problem admitting this?


Does the common Turk hate Erdogan and disagree with him?

Why is he in power?

do you see Pope Francis as a threat to the Jewish state of Israel?
I personally have zero problem with people recognizing Palestine as a nation state. I have zero problem with the Palestinians having a nation of their own, which is what they currently have.

Did Turkey commit genocide against the Armenians?

no they don't have a nation of their own untill Israel lifts the embargo it has placed in Gaza and the West Bank.


Did Turkey commit genocide against the Armenians?

I think both sides commited atrocities but these type of questions should be asked at historians

[Nick Young]

So in your own words, the Turks did commit genocide vs the Armenians? Thank you for finally admitting this. More Turks should be like you :cheers:

[brownmamba00]

You are a moron:biggums:

Liberals patronize and have made the news outlet, Young Turks, one the most popular political commentary sites on the internet, despite their namesakes being responsible for unspeakable acts of terror and genocide against the Armenian, Assyrian, Ottoman Greek and Marnonite Christians. Can you imagine if conservatives made a political commentary site called The Nazi Party relevant and acted like it was perfectly fine to view and accept them?

The hypocrisy of The Left. :facepalm

Do the Young Turks refuse to acknowledge the Armenian genocide though? I don't follow them so don't know.


IMO it is unfair to blame the Young Turks for actions that people in the past who shared their ancestry have committed.

It is unfair to blame Diane Kruger for the holocaust.

It is unfair to blame Ichiro Suzuki for atrocities that Japan committed in WWII.

It is unfair to blame Audrey Tatou for the people killed in the French Revolution.

The Young Turks, the political movement, are directly responsible for the Armenian genocide. Please don't tell me anyone would actually believe this was lost on Cenk Uygur decided to name his show.

But just in case you might be naive enough to think so, let's see some of his quotes

"That is why every year they push the U.S. Congress to pass a bill declaring the Armenian Genocide a historical fact. Fortunately, every year it is defeated because of the courage of people such as the 69 professors who wrote in to explain the truth of the matter"


"Hence, once you really examine the history of the time it becomes apparent that the allegations of an Armenian Genocide are unfounded. So the question arises of why the Armenians would bother to conjure up such stories,.."



" If not, then why is it not pointed out that no one outside of the “Armenian position” believes it is a genocide? Why is it assumed that the “Turkish studies side” has the burden of proof in overturning the verdict of Turkish guilt?"

Now that his show has taken off he has redacted the statements, but the name of the show still stands. Obviously, as he has gotten older and liberals have made his show a success and profitable enterprise he needs to sustain himself, he has had to pay lip service to his true ideology or lose his large investment.

Are you an Armenian holocaust denier? Surely your social studies class has educated you better than that bro!

Disgusting! **** these Young Turk guys! I was not aware that they named their channel after the political group primarily responsible for the genocide. WTF are they thinking? How can they claim to be liberal?

Really? You didn't know that? Look at the comments of any of their videos where they bitch about how insensitive the Washington Redskins name is. 90% of the comments are about Armenian genocide or saying "The Young Nazis".

[masonanddixon]

How was it anything but a genocide?

Turkey systematically killed over 1 million Armenians, and the Turks still deny it.

Turks=shit.

Cenk Uygur, who was born in Turkey, has talked about the Turkish genocide against the Armenian people. Interestingly, his main co-anchor, Ana Kasparian, is of Armenian ancestry.

I do agree that it wasn't the greatest idea to call his show The Young Turks :facepalm
