We need to rightly consider the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks as the first holocaust of the 20th century.
As the merchant class of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenians were not only dispossessed of their wealth, businesses and lands, but thousands of Armenian men were taken away and executed while women and children were sold into bondage and slavery.

It is time for Turkey to come clean.
