i care: I care because I am armenian and I am a human.
We are living outside our land and our country, we are always foriegn where we live. Most of Armenians are living outside Armenia, Why?
The Ottoman turkish government killed armenian people and put them out of there homeland and the world is still rehusing to recognize the biggest genocide in the 20 century.

i care: I care because 1.5 million of my people were massacred. These people did not bother anyone. They were innocent souls that had no reason to die. These people did not even have any intentions or even the means of hurting anyone else. This inhumane act, the genocide of 1915 commited by the dirty Turks should be recognized. This evil act, intended to erase the Armenians off the face of this earth was not successful. However the attemp was very tragic. Therefore, the notorious organizers of this genocide should pay for their wrongdoing.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because my race was put to torture. The innocent lives of our great-grandparents, our grand parents, parents, children and friends were taken from them. 1.5 million people lost their lives because of a government that wanted to erase Armenians off the surface of the earth. I care because we were tortured but we still survived and we continue to rise. I should never be ashamed of being Armenian because I am a proud Armenian girl and I will never forget what happened to us in the past.
I care because it was my past.
I care because it is my future yet to come
I care because it's my pride and also...
I care because I am Armenian!

i care: Words from the heart... by Hrachya Balmanukyan
1915
I care, my brothers and sister care
Every breathing Armenian cares.
Why you ask, it's not a secret
Lives were lost, and were sacred
A generation evaporated but no one cared.
'Tis the bloody date we all regret
'Tis our ugly fate that got us afraid
'Tis what broke the backbone of our faith
"No more" we shout, "no more denial"
No more keeping quiet, hiding the ugly truth
We shall show the world so blind
What the ugly Turk has done to us
There is no excuse for Genocide
Only hatred and selfishness comes to mind
As the word is finally spoken, "Genocide"
1915 Never Again, Turkey will pay, I swear my life on it! |

i care: April 24
With my family I walked into a big place
Filled with so many Armenians, there was no space
Good-bye to my father he left on a trip I was told
"Mother why are you crying? Is our house being sold?"
"No son, don't worry, we will go back soon."
And as my eyes shut, my mother whispered "Anoush Koun"
Next day I woke up, my mother too was gone
That's when I realized it was the Summer Without a Dawn
For a piece of bread I had to work
For the rest of my life I woud stay scarred
To survive in this genocide I had to be brave
It was hard watching my people die without a grave
These memories are perminant and my heart is still sore
All because of April 24 |

| i care: There has never been a more horrific act committed against the Armenian people than the Genocide of 1915. Whether you agree or disagree with the intentions behind it, we can all agree that it was a heinous act of primitive violence. It is difficult to comprehend how a 20th century nation, that thinks of itself as "civilized," could ever commit such an act. As the great writer William Saroyan once said, "We are a nation of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose literature is unread and prayers are no longer answered..." But we are still Armenians, we are still here- and I for one know that I will never be silenced, never miss a Genocide commemoration, never REST- until the souls and memories of the 1.5 million Armenians murdered can peacefully rest. Recognition and Remembrance are the only ways that these battered and forgotten people will ever get their day of justice. Victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, as well as victims of countless other genocides across the world, you are in our thoughts and prayers...don't worry, you have not been forgotten. |

i care: I personally care about the Armenian Genocide, because I feel like a looser
when I see how the American Government and the president of United States,
is not recognizing the Armenian Genocide. The American country, the United
State, which spent billions of dollars to fight against terror, does not
realise that a greater crime, the massacre of the Armenian people, is still
being forgotten and yet, it is a threat not only for America but also for
the globe.
I hope one day I will not feel like a looser again, and I will feel that
people still have a respect towards a nation, or just towards a human being,
that for many centiries now is being turtored and ignored in many ways.

GENOCIDE_ MEANS KILLING THE GENES!!!!!!!!!!
I live in East Armenia, I have two little babies and I am afraid of their future: I had no even close relatives from West Armenia suffered in the beginning of 20-th century, but I always care this gene of scare in my cells and always create plans in my subconscious how I should protect my girls in the case of Turkish attack.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because my grandparents were eyewitnesses of the horrible killings of the Armenians by the TURKS during the Armenian Genocide.
In my opinion, the Armenian Genocide is still carried on because the Turkish Government and the Leaders of the World DENY the killings of over 1.5 million Armenians by the TURKS in 1915. The Turks killed and deported Armenians from Historic Armenia and they took all their lands, wealth, and belongings.

i care: Dear friends.
Exactly 40 days ago, we lost a mother. My Mother, eternally closed her eyes, at noon, on January 14, on the historic Armenian New Year's Day, in Heliopolis, Egypt. My two sisters, Sirvart and Armine were with her, soon joined by Sirvart's children, my cousin Berge and wife Sona and family. From Los Angeles, I was able to follow part of last right's service by phone. Describing my mother's last facial expression, Sona said; "Shad kohounag oo khaghagh ardahaidootiamp devav eer herajeshde", (with gratitude and peaceful calmness she gave her farewell). She was buried in The Armenian Cemetery in Heliopolis, in her favorite dress, a gift of my brother; holding in her hands a khachkar, (Cross Stone), that my cousin Berge brought from Armenia last September.
We also lost, another survivor of The Armenian Genocide, the living witnesses of a failed attempt of a crime against humanity, the heroic generation, that against all odds, over the last 90 years, survived, produced and nourished us.
Today, 40 days later, we are here for her memory, and with this "hokejash" to "Celebrate Her Life". A life, that at best had a very sketchy beginning. My mother never knew who her parents were and when exactly she was born. No names, no documents, no trace of her coming to this earth. What she knew and told me was what her "saviors", the missionaries who named her Araxy, told her.
It was unfortunate that because of her long term poor health, she was unable to travel and meet you all. With your permission I will attempt to present her through my personal prism.
I estimate that she must have been a few months old when she was miraculously found, meticulously wrapped in baby clothing, the way a mother would do, and placed behind a tree covered with shrubs and leaves. I would venture and speculate that her parents, sensing the eventuality of their tragic destiny, hid her, to spare her from the same barbaric end, preferring her to die in the heart of mother nature. She was told that they found her in the Kharpert region. According to missionary memoirs and historians of the period, the mass deportations of the Armenians of the area started in late June and went through the first two weeks of July in 1915. Hence, my best guess is that, she must have been around 89 years old. This baby, like many others, through the German missionary network, survived and a few years later found herself in an orphanage in Antelias, today's Lebanon.
Soon after the end of the First World War, in late 1918, this 4 years old young girl, was moved to Greece, where there was an established orphanage with a school for Armenian orphans. At around age of 9/10, she was scheduled to be sent to America, when one of her teachers suggests that Egypt will be a better destination for her, were there were good schools for her to get an education. I estimate that around 1923/24 she landed in Port Said, and soon after she was in Cairo at a girls orphanage.
In those days, the orphans were taught Armenian and a trade. My mother ended up in the sewing school. One of her instructors, Digeen Eugenie, who apparently was a well know wedding gown specialist, almost adopted her; taught her the skills of pattern making and sewing, in her salon. As a child, I remember very vividly some of the beautiful wedding gowns that she worked on. I probably touched those gowns way before their respective brides and grooms did.
In 1939, through one of her fellow workers at the salon, my future aunt, also named Araxy, she met my father Manoug, and soon after they were married. She had 4 children, myself, my sister Sirvart, brother Varoujan/Marcus, and sister Armine. In her young age, this mother of four, was widowed, and the whole responsibility and the care of the family fell on her shoulders. Not quite a teenager yet, I could see and feel how hard she struggled to survive and take care of her children.
With all these daily difficulties, she always found time for her lifelong passion, reading. She read the Armenian Bible "the mother of all translations", and the literature of our giants, Mashdots, Khorenatsi, Nareg, Shnorhali, and from more recent times, Apovian, Baronian, Dzerents, Medzarents, Varoujan, just to name a few, cover to cover, over and over again, through her 90 years. She also read our history, specially the early years of the 20th century, with her heroes like Antranig, and as she read, she would often pause and sing the songs dedicated to them, as if to communicate with them and signal that she survived and with her readings, she was keeping their memory alive.
Looking back, I cannot help but think that, probably throughout her life, through her readings and prayers, she was looking for the answer to the question that she had to God. How could The Armenian Nation, with her Golden Literature as proof to unquestionable commitment to God, be subjected to the biggest crime of humanity? I hope that now in heaven and closer to God, she was able to ask that question directly and received the answer, the answer that eluded her for a life time.
Looking forward, every year, on April 24, as we commemorate the loss of over one and a half million victims of the Disaster, let us also memorialize this heroic generation, that after dutifully completing their missions on earth, now they are joining their parents in heaven, the parents, that most of them did not even know.
As for today, my mother is looking down on us, with great satisfaction that this hokejash, The Celebration Of Her Life, was held in this cultural center, named after one of her literary heroes, Raffi. Special thanks to the Board of Directors for making this "sanctuary" available for her.
Later, when this Celebration will be over and we depart, she will turn her eyes over to Mount Ararad and Armenia, the Historic Armenia. Her lifelong dream was to visit her roots, but unfortunately her physical condition did not allow her. But now with a full view from the theatre of heavens, spread in front of her is the Stage, her Armenia, our Armenia, from Kharpert to Artsakh, from Ani to Dikranagerd. She will continue to read our history and sing our songs, waiting for the day, that, in the words of the poet, dedicated to salty Lake Van's Yearning, ... "Vaneh Intckan Taghtsod Menah, Your Sevanin Mishd Miyana....and goes on ... " Yes Gesbassem Tegooz Tarer, Took Shadatsek Hezoratsek, Veratartsek Zis Der Ganknek" ... and finally, "Tchoors Kharnek Mer Sevanin, Vor Yes Tarnam Nera Hamin". (Lake Van yearns to join Lake Sevan..... I will wait for you, even for centuries.......Mix my water with Sevan Lake's, so that my taste will change to Her's...). Van's yearning was the yearning of my mother's generation...
Before ending, my mother would have liked for me to thank my two sisters, Armine and saintly Sirvart, who for the last quarter century, dedicated her life for the well being of our mother.
And now, I would like to thank my unparalleled wife Juliette for everything that she did for the last thirty plus years for my mother, for the last 40 days, and for all the logistics of today.
On behalf of the Chenian families spread over three continents, I thank you all for coming today to share our "Celebration Of A Life". And all of us for our collective loved ones, lets remember the words of another poet, "...Yete Hishadags Tarami, Akh Ayn Aden Yes Ge Mernem", "... If my memory fades, alas that’s when I die".
And finally, please allow me for all our departed loved ones, to wish in Armenian, "Hoghe Veraneen tetev Ella, Yev Asdvadz Hokineen Loossavore", (let the soil be light on her and God bless her soul). And I would like to conclude with my mothers very last words before her ascend to heaven, witnessed by my sisters, "Havadk, Hooys, Ser, Yev Khaghaghootiun", Faith, Hope, Love and Peace.
God Bless Us All. |

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because I am Armenian and because my grandmother was one of many who survived. Camellia Khudaverdian my grandmother was 10 years old when her parents got murdered in front of her eyes by Turks, they kidnapped her older sister. Camellia and Natasha her other sister along with many others from their village fled their homes and escaped through the forest.
This is the most I can remember of my grandmothers story and I was very young, but I had to tell everyone what the Armenian Genocide did to my family and my people.

i care: Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Mehmet Deviren, and I am a Turkish citizen. My late grand mother was an Armenian but this was kept a secret from my sisters and I until one nasty argument between my mother and father, which she ended up calling my father “ son of an Armenian b…. ”. My mother was not a naturally nasty person but she was ignorant about what had had happened in 1915. In that she was not alone. 99% of the nation was with her. The remaining 1% knew the truth but it had not suited them, it still does not. We were told to hate evil Armenians by the state and why would any body should or dare to change that!
When I confronted my mother on what she had said to my father I was given a very economical explanation (in fact I do believe that was all she knew about the subject), that my paternal great grand father and his brothers were involved in killing many Armenians near the Murad River in ongoing hostilities against the Armenians by the Turkish army and local militia. After they had executed their orders they returned to their village together with three little Armenian sisters whose parents had been killed by the very same men. As you know these atrocities had happened in many other places across the country. Those young girls all over the country rescued by men like my ancestors either by due to a limited humanity they had sustained or fore a more sinister and perverted reasons. In due time the three sisters had married to the sons of the brothers. My grand mother was the youngest of the three sisters.
I have also learnt from my grand father some details of his father’s and his uncles’ so called holly duties. Those poor people had been hand tied to one another and told “Murad Baba (father Murad) is waiting for you” before they were taken to a river to be thrown in, their hands were still tied in order to save bullets. There was no remorse what so ever in his words.
My grand mother and her sisters were all criticised to hold conversations in an unknown language by us, and especially my grand mother not to shed tears in times of family tragedies. She was branded a heartless woman by most of the family. Who would have guessed that she ran out of tears at the age of four when she had being forced to watch all her loved ones slaughtered.
Years went by and all the things I have heard about what had happened to the Armenians faded away due to the fact that they had been contradicted with what I had been taught in our history lesson at school. According to our schoolbooks it was the Armenians who had murdered the innocent Turks and they were continuing to do so under the name of ASALA. Surely all these books and teachers and journalists and statesmen could not be wrong. And who was I or any one else to suspect them. Didn’t they warn us against these lies, which were spread by the enemies of our country to undermine our sovereignty?
In mid eighties I moved to UK and started a job, which involved in many trips to south east of Anatolia. During some of these trips I met elderly local people (most of them were Kurds) and one way or another without any political purpose the subject turned into what had happened in 1915. What I was hearing collaborated with my childhood memories about my grandmother and every thing I have had heard from my grandfather, ect. Everywhere I went, there was a sad story and some concrete evidences to back them up. I will not repeat to you what you already know of. Yet these unexpected revelations have started to haunt me.
I had always some suspicions of the concepts of the state regulated history books and disbelief towards our politicians, however the truth was too hard to digest.
On my last trip to the region I went to a village near the city of Diyarbakir in order to hold a report about forced relocation of the villagers to a nearby town to stop their possible support to the separatist terrorist fighters. They had been given a little bit more than a week to evacuate their homes by the state and almost all of the villagers were against it. But they were powerless and desperate to stay in the land, which they all lived in for many generations. I shall never forget the painful words of one very old man to me “son we have taken this land from the Armenians, we built our lives on their tears and blood and now we are leaving this land behind amid our tears and blood on it.”
When I saw my sisters again I told them about what I had learnt and their response was total disbelief. Their explanation for what I said was that I living in UK and working for a foreign organisation corrupted my senses. Basically according to them I was poisoned by foreign powers, which wanted to divide up our beloved country. Had I not heard that before!
I was told to shut up and not to repeat that to any one else for my sake as well as theirs. But how could I? It was like being a witness to a terrible crime and not to come forward. Now I know the truth and the truth was too painful to keep silent. Yes I was Turkish and I always loved my country but I was also a human and being a human carries certain responsibilities.
I told the same story to some of my friends and the result was almost similar plus I have lost some of their trust and friendship for good.
I had also written letters to some of the Turkish Newspapers and in return I have received either an insult or no response at all.
Today my dear grandmother and her sisters are long gone. So I do not have the opportunity to tell her how sorry I am for what happened to her and her nation or try to share her pain and sorrow, which I believe she had carried with her until the day she died. According to my religion once the soul leaves the body, forgives every wrong doings and every injustice. My ancestors who had committed these atrocities will be answering to their creator, may God show mercy on their souls.
But the earth belongs to the living and I for one beg of your forgiveness for all the pain that my ancestors had caused to your nation. Yes there was a war in 1915 and the politicians of both sides had made mistakes, but nothing can justify for the massacre of the innocent civilians.
One day I hope my beloved country will accept these historic facts and let the truth set them free.

i care: My name is Iveen Aslanian. I care about the Armenian Genocide, because it's an indescribable slaughter that the Turks did to us. This happened 89 years ago, but we will never forget it! Our main issue today is, that the Turkish government hasn't got the courage to give up for what his done and the ridiculous thing is, USA is supporting him!
If we go deep back in the history, the Turks' ancestor was Chingis Khan. We all know he had the aim to conquer the world. But how? There was no modern technology at that time.The only way was shedding blood!!! And this have taken the Turks as a sample, in which they practiced on us!
I want to make a progression on making the world recognize our Genocide!!!! No matter how!!!
My late grandfather used to tell me: Dear grandchild, if you learn the language of your enemy, you're 10 steps ahead of him!!!

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because it is my duty not only as an Armenian-American, but as a compassionate human being.
I care because apathy on my part would be just as repulsive as denial by the Ottoman Empire.

i care: All Armenians need to open their eyes and see how important it is to have the armenian gencoide recognized. Dont turn away do not try to neglect it. Do not ignore reality. The armenian genocide still continues oday because the denial continues. So open your eyes and look . We need to live our lives with an open mind and see the difference.

i care: My name is Lilit Hakhpandyan and this is why I care about the Armenian Genocide.
First of all, how is a question like asked? How can you NOT care? How can you not care about your own RACE, your own PEOPLE, LOVED ONES, OUR OWN BLOOD being demenished? Our people were killed, slaughtered, beaten to death and buried alive! 1.5 million of our people GONE. How can such a great massacre occur and go by unrecognized? Why are children education about every other genocide or massacre in school and not the Armenian Genocide of 1915? Are we not human beings? Do we not breath? Do we not have feelings for our race? The cowardly Turks killed MY people, OUR people, took our land, money and belongings, and DENIED the whole act. Why should they get away with it? Our race shall not go by unrecognized and the Turks shall pay back. We shall take our revenge from the Turks so that those 1.5 million souls can rest in peace...

i care: I am a half british, half Armenian male who considers himself a quality soul. An artistic, happy, man who likes to smile. I feel saddened to learn of such violence in such recent history, but what is new. Sometimes i wonder if we are only animals after all. But then I think of love, which is beyond violence and hatred, because it will allways live on in other people. Like me and all the other armenians who share a wish for the attrocity to be recognised and rectified in some way. I was formerly a Galoustian.

i care: I care because years after the genocide the cruelty continued during the present Turkish rule and these actions have not been published or brought to peoples attention .These actions include the preparation for a second genocide in World War II ,what was called the " Varlik Vergisi",where everything you owned was taken from you and the cruelties of 6th April in Istanbul which was supposedly anti Cyprus.
People who ignore the facts of so many years ago as they were old history and during the Ottoman Empire ,are ignorant of the facts that have been continuing since because we have not been painting a fuller picture.

i care: Humanity is beginning to lose itself among people, and has been for a long time. The Armenian Genocide matters in so many ways. To look at it from an inhumane way, the genocide is apart of the world's history. Without it, some historian may find him/herself stumped on a puzzle in history. Unable to figure it out, perhaps they would put something totally wrong in the place of where it should be, just for a place holder. Yet, that place holder could become common belief through the years. We must protect our history.
To look at it in a humane way, it was wrong! Evil, you could say. Almost annihilating an entire race, that perhaps is the second worst thing you can do, after totally annihilating an entire race. Torturing purest of heart, tormenting laughs and actions, how to you excuse this? You cannot! Marched for months across land, only to go to desert, which holds only a fool's hope!! Shot. Raped. Hanged. Beaten. Murdered!!! No one was spared humiliation, no one was shown mercy from the soldiers. Admitted, some Turks found a heart, and helped the some Armenians escape, but we're looking at the leaders, not individual actions.
Even though I myself am not Armenian, even though I'm but a 13 year old, even though I'm a woman (which would matter if you happened to be chauvinistic), I still have a heart. Where has the compassion gone in fellow man? Where is the truth? We all live on this earth TOGETHER. Bringing hardship upon another nation only brings hardship upon yourself. Remember that we share this earth....... remember that we are all human.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because if I don't, who's to say another will? If I do not care about the mass murders that took place, the inhumane acts of hate, the torturous grief millions of people suffered and still continue to suffer; then who is to say anyone else will? Who will give me the guarantee that if this human refuses to care, then another human will?
I care because to this day, we Armenians suffer. I care about the memory of the 1.5 million that died. I care for those who survived only to realize they were without a parent, a sibling, or a relative. I care for these acts of travesty are still unrecognized by government entities to this day.
I care because it is just.
I care because it is undeniable.
I care because I am a human being.
I care because to not care about a genocide would be a greater crime than that of the genocide itself.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because my race was put to torture. The innocent lives of our great-grandparents, our grand parents, parents, children and friends were taken from them. 1.5 million people lost their lives because of a government that wanted to erase Armenians off the surface of the earth. I care because we were tortured but we still survived and we continue to rise. I should never be ashamed of being Armenian because I am a proud Armenian and I will never forget what happened to us in the past.
I care because it was my past.
I care because it is my future yet to come
I care because it's my pride and also...
I care because I am Armenian!

i care: Even though I am only 14, I really do care about the Genocide of 1915. I feel that Armenians today are responsible of preserving their pride and identity. Being an Armenian is what I do, I couldn't imagine being French or Italian. The Armenian Genocide put our country and ancestors in deep trouble, but that wasn't enough. We will always work to get more people informed on the facts of the Armenian Genocide. For example: more than 1.5 million Armenians were tortured and massacred. The Turkish Government denies that fact, although they know that it is true indeed! We will work to try to get Turkey to admit to that, and most importantly, we won't give up!

i care: The Armenian Genocide did not affect my family directly, but I care because more than 1.5 million people were denied the right to live and were subjected to unspeakable torture and suffering. Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers - slain mercilessly. I care not only as an Armenian, but also as a human being who believes that such unrestrained, state-sponsored violation of human rights should never have occurred. What often is unacknowledged is the fact that millions of others around the world since 1915 have fallen victim to similar circumstances. Perhaps hundreds of millions of people around the globe would have been spared had the world taken notice of the gruesomeness of the genocide and had the Ottoman Empire been held responsible for its acts. Instead, the vast majority of governments around the world chose to ignore the event as mere tarnish on the pages of history and implicitly annulled the existence of those who perished.
A few sentences written by a faceless individual will not ameliorate all wrongs that have transpired, but I hope that my words inspire action to make sure that history does not forget our suffering and that such a tragedy never happens again - to any group of people.

i care: The Armenian genocide is something you don't hear much about in Spain, where I live. I do care about the Armenian genocide because tragic events need to be remembered. If the Armenian genocide had been remembered before, perhaps the Jewish holocaust would have never taken place and the culprits could have been punished in due time. At the same time, I also think that we are not slaves of history. I don't feel I am guilty of the atrocities that the Spanish made in America several centuries ago, but I acknowledge the fact that they were atrocities. That is why Turkey should admit there was a genocide. It is a question of historical hygiene.
In October 2004 I was for the first time in my life in Armenia, and I felt that humanity was everywhere. The best present that you Armenians can offer to those who perished is to create a new future for Armenia, because the past cannot be changed, but the future is open.
April 24 is my birthday. It is my mother's birthday and my brother's birthday too. I am a very rational person so I don't think this is a divine signal or something like that, but every time we meet to celebrate our birthday we will remember those who died. |

i care: My grand-father was Wahram Gakavian. He and a part of his family survived the genocide and came to France.
He wrote 3 books relating the history of the Genocide. But still, there was a lot of pressure from the turquish government - even in France- for the books not to be edited. And although he did fight and managed to have the book published, they never had a great impact.

i care: I am 21 years old. My family was never part of the genocide. I care about the recognition of the genocide not only because I am Armenian, but because I am human. For the world not to accept such a crime against mankind, is a crime of its own. For Turkey to deny that such events have occured or to deny that it was war therefor ok, or that their goal wasn't to wipe out a whole race is a crime on its own. And for the world leader of today, to deny facts and proven details of the first genocide of the century is a crime on its own. Because we are a small country do we not matter? This can only lead to further genocides, for example the genocides taken place in Africa, because they are small countries that don't matter doesn't mean it's not a crime against mankind. So there is no doubt that the recognition of the genocide is a must, but it would be a crime otherwise!

i care: I care very much about the Armenian Genocide and want JUSTICE NOW. We as Armenians need some kind of acknowledgement from the world that such a horrific act was committed upon our people. This kind of act will continue until turkey is forced to remember and pay for their acts. I urge our American government to become one of the first nations to recognize the genocide on the Armenian people and pressure turkey to pay retribution for all the Armenian families for lost loved ones like they urged the German government in the Jewish holocaust.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FOUND!!

i care: There are no limitations, no quantification to how much I care in regard to the Armenian Genocide and massacres committed by the Young Turk Government and Ottoman Empire in 1915.
No matter how hard one tries to restrain, ignore and place in trite regard, I and other like-minded individuals will never forget. Nor will we cease to discuss and remind others of the systematic attempt at extermination of the Armenians, a people who have never in the history of the planet declared war on any peoples, countries or states.
That fact is about to change. A war of words is about to begin. I, and like-minded individuals, will retreat to the greatest weapon ever devised: the pen. Paper soldiers will take their toll on any one person, government or state, which denies, contributes either inadvertently or otherwise, any systematic (efficient or sloppy) attempt at an elimination of any people.
The effects of any crime of this degree will never escape any people. The Armenian Genocide not excluded. It has brought about a nation without shorelines, a government without public servants, a people denied dollars and millions of displaced people declined of their native soil.
The fact remains that we have been robbed of our land. Robbed of our potential. Robbed of our ancestral integration. I, and like-minded individuals, have no resignations in mediocrity in regard to our nationality.
Revenge is in the midst as soon as I and other paper soldiers point their felt tips and make our voices heard.
The fact remains that nothing in this world and within this life goes unrequited. All loose ends will be tied. All questions will be answered. Nothing left to read between the lines. The rate at which minds are infected will increase ten-fold as soon as my and other like-minded individual?s voices are heard. As soon as our story is told.
As a half-breed and direct bi-product of the genocide?s end result, I have never held a belief quite as close as this one and cannot imagine that I could.
As soon as it?s worth dying for it?s worth living towards. Remember what?s been told. Remember to take this oath: write what you have never read or heard. Otherwise the fight is coming to you. You have all been forewarned.

i care: And this story is about my grandfather who was a survivor of the Genocide.
He had a Family of 13, his mom and dad, and 11 brothers and sister. He was from a town called Kars, when the event took place, he was home with his family, Most his brothers and sisters, mother and father were killed in front of his eyes, the only people that survived were my Grandpa Saribek Torosyan and his Sister Sona Torosyan, My grandpa was 4 at the time, and his sister was only 8, they both ran hiding under cows, till they riched the river, then some couple who lost all their kids, helped my grandpa with crossing the river, but in the result he lost sight of his sister. He came to now Armenia, city of Leninakan, and found a family who sheltered him, he worked for them as a servant till he was 18 years old, got married had a boy, my oldest uncle, but shortly after, his wife went insane so she was put in an institution and was once again left alone, with his little boy, all this time my grandpa was looking for his sister, but his search was unsuccessful, all he remebered were her eyes and her name. My grandpa was madly in love with the daughter of the family who sheltered him during his childhood a very caring woman name Araksya, so in a very short time he ended up marrying this woman, who by the way was my Grandma :). My grandpa searched for his sister for 54 years, placed adds in newspapers etc. One day he was at a market in Leninakan buying bread and as always telling his story and of his long lost sister, describing her, and someone approached him, telling him about a woman who also is known to be from Kars, Name Sona living not too far from the market, this person described the house. This was the first lead my Grandpa had, he rushed to this house, and sat behind the closed wooden doors, with tears in his eyes, full of hope but in the meantime very afraid that this could be a false alarm. He gathered all his courage and knocked, a little wrinkly old woman answered the door, they didnt speak they only stared at each other for a moment, and that was enough to recognize each other, it truly was her the one his been searching for 54 years. Need I tell the rest? they had a few years together after that, they were unseperable, I was named after her, she died 6 years after they found each other, but that didnt sadden my grandpa, he was gratefull he found her, and i am very grateful, i am able to tell this story. So thanks to the ones who gave me this opporunity to tell and God Bless.]

i care: People are brought to justice long after they have committed the crime. i think it is time for turkey to own up to its history. only admitting to the crime they committed, the genocide of 1.5 million armenians, and the crimes they still committ, will they become a better country. it is a shame that it has not happened in the lifetime of the victims who survived the 1915 genocide, and maybe it will not happen in our lifetime, but i believe that one day justice will be done. how long will it take?

i care: I am a second generation Genocide survivor. My maternal grandparents were from Erzrum. My paternal grandparents came from Bitlis. Both sides lost their entire families during the Turkish atrocities. My maternal side came to Iran via Derzor & Iraq. They were Victoria Hounanian Nalbandian and Aghasar (Alexander) Kirakosian. My dad’s side took refuge in Armenia, and as the Bolsheviks entered Yerevan they escaped to Iran. They were Haykanoush Ghazarian and Arsen Khachikian.
I shall keep the flame burning, and so will my children; Ara, Garen, & Flora. We cannot forget Turkish terrors and my grandparents’ stories. None of my grandparents were fairy tale storytellers, but they told us (their grandchildren) the real events of 1915. How can I forget something that is embedded in my soul? May they rest in peace along with millions whose bones remain scattered all around the occupied Armenian land.

i care: I care because there were innocent women and children brutally murdered, I care because all of Turkey are cowards and I believe that one day we will strike back with raging fury, get our land and Ararat back. First we must get together as one race, we need to be on the same page, the wavelength... How can we help Armenia become the country that everyone envies. I care because they dont admit it until this very day. I had a dream once that I would be the next great one, the next king of Armenia, 3000 and some years ago Armenia existed, and were ruled by kings... I always hurt inside when I think of the genocide, why no one recognizes it by us Armenians, it's really puzzling isn't it? No one will hear our voice here in the United States, half the people don't know who or what Armenians are and it's ironic that we were the first Christians in this world but no one knows. I know what we need, we need a public figure to speak for us Armenians.. one voice is all you need, one person is all you need, but it's important for that one voice have a mob of people backing this person up no matter what...I'm really interested in joining an
organization against Turkey and for the people of Armenia. I really would love to meet some of you
people, I hardly have any Armenian friends and would be a great opportunity for me to meet new people.

i care: My father's mother came from Van with her mother, brothers and sisters after her father was poisoned. (She was telling that poisoning of Armenians who held different positions in government, municipality, etc was the first stage of the horror turkish plan.) Soon after they reached Eastern Armenia their mother was killed by bandits for ther golden belt and other money she could took with herself for living during "temporary" relocation. After being left without both parents children were taken to the orphanage house and then distributed by Soviet orphanage network. My grandmother, who was 7 years old at that time, was transferred to Ashkhabad (Turkmentistan Soviet Socialistic Republic), where she was adopted by a family which had no children. In Ashkhabad she met my grandfather, an armenian soldier in soviet army, who brought her back to Armenia.

i care: I am a 3rd generation survivor of the Armenian Genocide of 1915. I am only 26. Yet, through the vivid and poignant stories of my grandfather (the only grandparent I knew), I used to feel the pain of the genocide as if I was there with him when he was just an infant, seeing his friends and family slaughtered all around him.
Most of the world today lives in comparatively peaceful times. However, many places such as Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, Bosnia, Iraq, Tamil, Cambodia, Burma, etc... still exist. Where whole groups of single races are still being targeted for complete and total annhialation, either through acts of war, terrorism, starvation, deportation, massacres, and disease.
I care about the Armenian Genocide because, although countries such as the United States feel reluctant to admit it, most places around our modern world still resemble Armenia circa 1915, where 1.5 million souls were extinguished within a period of a few years.
I care because RESPONSIBILITY for such atrocities are neither acknowledged by those who committed them, nor by their descendants who continue to deny them, nor by those governments such as the United States that turn a blind eye to them.
I care because millions of souls were inhumanely and violently extinguished.
I care because the fate of one nation, one race, and one culture, should NEVER be decided by another.
I care because, although I am Armenian, I am also human, and it saddens me deeply to see this type of heinous crime continue and go unpunished during my own time on this earth.
However, instead of feeling victimized, I am also set free because I care. The Genocide was a sad and tragic event that affected a 3000-year old civilization for future generations to come. But I am also proud at the same time that these future generations are continuously building and working hard to live happy, successful lives and to rise stronger in heart, body and soul from the ashes of such tragedy.
When my friends ask me why I am so proud to be Armenian, I answer "Because through thick and thin, through hell and back, we have managed to survive 3000 years and remain a strong presence in the world. Because Armenians have come to be known as good citizens of any country they might call home. Because our history is 3 millenia old, rich with its own myths and legends, and its own unique psyche. And finally because the Armenian heart will always beat strong, even after evil forces try their hardest to stamp it out of existence."
April 24, 2005 will mark the 90th anneversary of the Armenian Genocide.
I wish to see the day that anneversaries for more genocides need not be remembered across the world. It is a hope we should all continue hanging onto.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide. It is such a horrific tragedy that occurred in the early 20th century. Over 1.5 million people were murdered and raped including women, men AND children. I remember my mother would tell me stories of the genocide when i was younger. Lots of people committed suicide in order to avoid not being slaughtered by the Turks. It was that horrible! I personally don't know if any of my ancestors were among the millions who died but either way its MY culture, they're MY people... Genocide is a really terrible crime that should be stopped! I know we've all heard about the Jewish Holocaust
and other atrocities but no one really knows about what happened to the Armenians, and hopefully one day we can change that!!

We are all first, second, third, and fourth generation survivors, this is affecting us all. We cant forget the 2 million people massacred by the turks. We must fight until the very end, until justice is served. We can never forget this massacre, it left us with open wounds and we cant close it until we find justice, and every time they deny this genocide it is like they pour pounds of salt over the open bleeding wound again.

i care: 1.5 million innocent men, women and children were raped, killed and subjected to undescribable atrocities.
Women and children were made to take "death marches" accross the desert
with no food, water or hope whatsoever until they died of exhaustion, hunger or thirst.
Missionaries and ambassadors from various countries, including the US,
documented these atrocities which they witnessed first hand.
Until this day, Turkey denies this ever happened and many countries
including the US don't recognize the death of 1.5 million innocent
Armenians as genocide even order to keep diplomatic relations with Turkey.
I find this abominable and appalling!

i care: My grandmother and her sister were given 1-hour to get out of their house as were all Armenians from her village near Diyarbekir. They were surrounded & corralled by Turkish Janderma towards Syria. This was after all the men, specially young men were taken away supposedly to serve in the military, they were never heard from. The trip took nearly 5 months during which many died. Some died in the hands of the Janderma who would cut up a woman’s guts for diamond & gold that she may have swallowed, they were the lucky ones. Others were raped and tortured and killed for pleasure. My grandmother died from dehydration, her sister’s son died of starvation. My mother was 4-years old at the time. She survived with her two older brothers and an older sister. My grandmother’s sister survived with her daughter. After walking 5-months, they reached Damascus and then ended up in Baghdad. All this I heard from whom I thought was my grandmother. You see, my grandmother’s sister brought up her kids as well as her sister’s as one family. I only found later in life that she was not my real grandmother and that she was her sister. We called her Im-mi. She also told me an incredible story about her husband. Her husband had managed to get away from the killing fields after they were taken and supposedly to serve in the military. They were striped of their weapons and slaughtered. So he joined Antranig’s army. As Antranig’s army was running short on food one day, he volunteered with six others to go and get sugar, flour and other food.. On their way they were spotted by a regiment of Turkish regulars and they were surrounded.. According to one of injured survivors everyone was shot except Im-mi’s husband who used every bullet including from those who were shot. He made every bullet count and when there were no more bullets left, the Turks came and took him away. That’s the last time he was seen alive.

i care: I am an Armenian in Houston,Texas who cares because this genocide is about "us" and who we are! If we forget this then our race will die even further and we will let our ancestors and heritage suffer our consequences of quitting. We are the first nation to have accepted Christianity and for that, we deserve to keep on fighting until they say "we did......and we apoligize!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

i care: I do care, not only because of my Armenian origin of which I am so deeply proud,
not only because of my own relatives who were victims of that terrible Genocide,
but also because I am against unjustice, violence and ignorance.
Nevertheless we, the Armenians all over the world, will always give lessons of justice, culture, education, faith and love to those who still do not accpet what they have done.
Shame and blood on their history while the Armenian one still shines !

i care: care because I lost my heritage, my family, my language. I lost a
piece of my soul and en route to finding it, I have to break through
walls of silence, within my family, within media, within my government
and within my society.
I care because I got concussed by a Turk for introducing my armenian
heritage on college campus. I care because when denial is this
intense, it is turning into a hate crime by itself. I care because I
want Turks to know their family history. I care because Armenians are
still persecuted in Turkey. I care because I am tired of carrying my
ancestors graves on my shoulders.
I care because denial about genocide accomplishes nothing- Yugoslavia
is the proof! I care because people yell when they are in pain,
whether it's denial or demands. I care, because I want to cast my
demons out and not bury them.

i care: Who gives anyone the right to wipe out a whole country… let alone deny it ever happening? Regardless who’s witnessed it first hand or who’s heard the terrible stories passed down from generation to generation, a whole country was massacred. Who cares about the Armenian Genocide? ... I Do! And so should any one else who is human enough to feel what it would be like to be driven out of our own home, killed and raped, and taken away from all your human rights. It wasn’t fair what they did to our people. And it isn’t fair that in such an advanced world... There are many people who till this day deny it and don’t accept it.

Grand- Grand father brought family from Archesh into Etchmiadzin and went
back to fight the turks.
Since then him and his three brothers are gone. Even now I hold the photo of
my ancestors made in Polis at the begininng of 20th century and think of
them.
Inniocent blood was shed for greed and resentment of those who live now and
think that it willl be forgotten.
They are wrong !
My son David grows. And He already knows his roots and cary's an armenian

i care: I am writing reagarding my mother Angela Maranian, nee Nalbandian , who will be ninety years old this year, who is a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. She was born in Yozghat in Central Anatolia on May 15,1915 just over a month before the genocide begun. My mother lives in near Cambridge, England where she moved to last year having lived in Eastcote, Middlesex, England where she had been since 1944.
She cannot recall the genocide( because she was so young at the time ) or the events that took away first her Uncle and then later her father leaving her mother with four children in very poor and difficult conditions. Although her memory is declining somewhat with age, she does recall her years, from the age of five to thirteen, that she spent as a refugee, together with one of her sisters, in the Armenian orphanages in Lebanon and subsequently Egypt, having become separated from her mother.Through good fortune they regained contact with their mother and the family eventually were brought together settling in Belgium. Her sister, who was with her in the Armenain Orphanges, and who later lived in Brussels for many years, sadly passed away last year at the age of 92.
Having spent the second world war in German prisoner of war camps, as a result of being British citizens living in occupied Holland ( another story), my father and mother, as refugees, eventually settled in England in 1944.
My mother, even at her great age, continues to be an inspiration to us all, expressing much anguish at the constant re occurrence of wars that have rendered much sadness and sorrow to so many of the peoples of the World.

i care: Every single Armenian is a victim of the genocide, even if they're born today, tomorrow or next year. We can all trace back relatives and family members back to the genocide and even if we didn't have an actual family member killed, our next door neighbor which is Armenian is as good as a relative, a brother or a sister. And to be honest, that's the one thing that no other nation has, and that's the love and care we have for our fellow Armenians even if we've never met, and the turks tried to put a stop to that, perhaps it was jealousy that drove them to genocide, but they also drove themselves to eternal damnation and eternal fire and when we're up in heaven walking with our brothers and sisters who were actual victims of the genocide, we could look down and have our sweet joy and satisfaction when we see every single one of them looking up to us and asking for forgiveness. Let us leave it at that but never forget to pass down our culture from generation to generation, for we are the strongest root of Christianity here on earth and we all do care and we all know the truth, but keep your faith and never give up the struggle which we are going through because our Father knows all the truth.

i care: Yegsapet Janerian was her name; she lived to see many of her great grandchildren including myself. Looking at her face you could have never imagined what she had to go through to end up where she did. Before 1915, my great grandmother had 6 siblings, six. Can you guess how many of them survived? Absolutely none of them; her father, her mother, her brothers all perished at the hands of the Turkish government. When two Turks on horse back came to take her away, her mother the only survivor in her family begged and pleaded for them not to take the only thing she had left. The brutal Turks whipped her and then slaughtered her in front of my great grandmother who was only seven at the time. A seven year old who had to burry her mother in the yard. She visited her grave everyday, until one day when she realized that the coyotes had gotten to her first. Her remains were scattered all over the neighborhood. Thank God a German soldier found her shortly after that incident, and turned her in to an American Orphanage in Jerusalem. She lived in the Orphanage till she was 12 years old. Her aunt, who was desperately looking for her, had found her in the orphanage and had taken her in. Later that year she met my great grandfather, and married him. With him she had 6 children, which branched out to 32 grandchildren and many more great grandchildren. I sometimes wonder how big my family would have been if the Turks hadn’t killed off most of my family. While our family continues to grow today the tragedies of the past still leave a deep scare in our hearts. And the story of my great grandmother will be passed, for generations to come, so that the future generations know that It was mere chance that my family escaped near extinction.
THIS IS WHY I CARE!

i care: My name is Vahram Bagratounian. I have no relatives who have perished in the bloody inferno of 1915, as long as all my grandparents are fromEastern Armenia.
That does not mean anything of course. Anyone identifying himself as an Armenian must put aside the so-called internal divisions and think in a wider perspective. We are one nation and we have one goal.
What I can tell you about the genocide, which I have heard from the survivors is the following.
My wife’s grandparents on both sides come fromWestern Armenia. From Van on her father’s side and from Mush on her mother’s side.
Her grandfather on her mother’s side was the only survivor out of a family of 10. His mother managed somehow to push him out of a burning church, where the residents of their village were locked in and the church was torched. This was a well-known Turkish method, which was used in other countries too (in Cretefor example), where those peoples had the joy of experiencing the Turkish occupation.
His grandfather on her father’s side was 18 years old during the defense of Van in 1915. He was from a well known family in Van and his father had been slaughtered by the Turkish soldiers some weeks before the siege of the town started. Fortunately he survived like many other residents of Van, as a result of a well-organized defense, which unfortunately wasn’t the case in other places.

i care: The woman I love has Armenian roots. She's from a family of survivors. Which means life has been kind enough with me, since in another version of the universe, maybe her family wouldn't have survived, like many others. She's beautiful and marvelous, and so, yes, I care.
Adding to that, one of my mother's favorite singer, Charles Aznavour never stop talking about it, since he also has armenian roots, and so does a great filmaker in my country, Atom Egoyan, so life leaded me to care already.
Love is the key.

i care: Why I care? Because both my parents were survivors:
My mother's family Tombakjian were forced to leave Istanbul and walk to Dasmacus, Syria. As my mother's father was a jeweler, they sewed various precious stones and precious metals into the garments of the children. So, as they were a party of 9 people starting out (and the turks kept meticulous records-they so admired the germans) they arrived in Syria with a count of 10. They had a birth along the way-the turks were absolutely furious with them.
My father's family, living in Ordu, somehow managed by his mother to take a boat across the sea to russia and were spared, while some fellow passengers were thrown into the sea for sport to watch them drown by the turks.
That is why I care and will never forget. How can we dishonor their memory! |

If I'd have forgotten what they did to those innocent Armenian kids,girls and old people that would mean that i no longer was Armenian. That would mean, that i'd become a devil, a thing that doesn't worth to breath. Anyway, I pray our God to let us Win this war agains this denial and make an excellent world in their second life.

I care because it is what happened to the innocent people of an ancient land that is being cast aside without being given any thought. everyone knows of the Jewish Holocaust and the mistreatment of many nations, yet not many think of the ugly day when more than a million met a terrible death, not even the people whose fathers committed the bloodcurdling deed.
We have always been, and perhaps still are, people that keep much to themselves. A world-wide scandal would've broken out a long time before this otherwise. People were killed, a nation scarred and bruised, decreased to shreds, but we still survived and got through with what little there was.
We still live today, yet the past of our country is folded and tucked away, everyone being too busy to spare a moment's thought.
Well, I'm sick of it. The entire injustice. an ancient country was torn, but no one knows, and the people who did it deny the whole thing, taking an advantage of the fact that Armenia is now small. Small, old, and little-known.
Guess what?! The country may be small, a great count of the people may be scattered all over the world, but we still live. we live with the pain of the past. We live with a piece of us gone, taken away almost ninety years ago. We were ripped, yet we are still here, near or not, connected by our hearts, or blood, our fathers, our past, and our land; and connected by the wish of seeing justice rest on the history of our land.
I don't want anyone to be punished. All I, and many others, want is for people to see the truth and for the people of Turkey to stop lying. I don't want to bury the pain of my people and history inside me forever; I want to cast out all the bad, and I want the truth of the past to be known, for it is with us all. No matter when and where an Armenian is born, they'll know and carry it with them, fo it is a part of our story that still lives today.
I am thirteen years old, and that is why I care. I am an Armenian, and proud to be one more than anything else.

i care: care because as an Armenian im proud to belong to a nation who lived despite the many scare and ...
Living Despite the Scar is the Triumph.
Scars let one remember a past pain, a past sadness and a loss, but if they can remember a triumph, a victory, then it can show that obstacles can be overcome. The Armenian cultivator who carried a scar on the hand started to remember the fight, but work in the spring, with the sole worry to cultivate the land of the ancestors, with love, care and honest effort. The Armenian entrepreneur, who lost all the capital in the last war, received the motivation, to work double to regain what he lost and more.
The Armenian history that initiated through sacrifices, grew on limitless patriotism, and was immortalized through magnificent works of arts and with the creation of Armenian letters, 1600 years ago. This nation offered to the world, along with the paints and theatres, brilliant minds and sparkling souls. The evil that was present tried to eliminateArmeniafrom the map and Armenians from the world. What can one do in front of such a heartbreaking and destructing evil? Either fight or flight. The Armenian blood cannot ever surrender to pain or evil goal. The massacre of the intellectuals was the first step of the evil plan; the songs that were written by our authors became the anthem of the soldiers who tried to neutralize the pain. The journey started with suffering, can it continue with a national gain?
The Armenian nation started a path of suffering with families losing sole protector, children being born as orphans and wives becoming widows the minute the shadow of death stepped in. The souls of the fathers and intellectuals tried to protect the children, the nation down on earth, but they couldnít put an end to a sword that is guided with a being that differs from the animal only due to the fact that it can utter the most harmful life taking orders. The black sword of death didnít differentiate between the white innocent lives of children neither it did save the wise old nor the sweet women. The death path that started with the murder of the Armenian writers, continued with children singing their immortal miracles in art that guided the Armenian soldiers through the war of sorrow and pain.
The human heart can't stand such murder; neither a mind can understand so much evil will. The judge of Armenian lives on earth was the Turk government that found everyone "guilty of being Armenian". The greatest judge interfered, who Has the power to offer a new birth, a new life. God Who offered to His only son the chance to relive, offered to Armenians too. The Armenian nation is now living on the memory of destruction that strengthens an Armenian to become a better human, a wiser person, and an ideal ARMENIAN.
The murder of one child who's playing outside his house, or one old man who is giving advice to his children, is GENOCIDE. This word was introduced to the 20th century 90 years ago through Armenian genocide, and continues to reveal its impact every day. The death cannot be an end; it can be a beginning. And now Armenians are present to start a beginning that involves rebellion to build the nation, better than ever and write in history the story of a nation, who saw the pain, healed and continued with the scar, to draw the paints of victory, happiness and success to all its children.

i care: My grandfather, Hagop Bujulian (Boujoulian) came toAmerica with his brother at the turn of the century. The rest of his family was killed by Turks; the same people who continue to deny the dirty deeds. It is amazing to me that to this day, there are people who deny that anything happened. How could this be?

| i care: A lot of the world is consumed with hate and love. Many hate the fact that people do not recognize a great tragedy, and I believe that people hate the fact that the world that does not recognize that the Armenian Genocide happened. Many of the world has said that the Armenian Genocide happened, however Mr.Bush said time and time again that he would fix the great in justice that has hap pended to the Armenian people by the Turkish. He has not recognized the fact that a great tragedy has happened. Armenians are trying to use love to show the world that we can be kind in fixing a great injustice. So I ask all the all the world leaders to recognize the Armenian Genocide, not so that we can gain our land back, but because the world should know the horror that the Turkish government did to us. |

i care: I care because I AM the Armenian Genocide.
because genocide never ends.
because it is not an option.
I care because it is a state of mind to be vanquished repeatedly.
because its a legacy we inherited and must pass on.
because vigilance is our collective responsibility.
I care because it still happens and we have not learned how to tame human ferocity.
The Armenian Genocide is not only ours any more but the world's.
Now we all have to care.
Especially those who have endured and conquered...

i care: When I was a child, I was living in Büyükada in Istanbul-Turkey.
There were many armenian and greek people. There were my best friends. This was in the earlier 80es.
Now in the end of the last decade, the only evidence of this people is their closed churches.
During the 80es and the 90es the armenian and the greek population was immigrated to the outside of the Turkey. Out of their origin.
Very sadly for me to see, how my friends during the years going far away.

i care: I'm the fighter and I never feel like I was the victim of anything. Both side of my parents grandparent's were part of Genocide in two deferent geographical situation. My Grand-grand father was almost killed when the Turk soldiers murder his family and rape his sisters and mother in west Armenia. My dad side Grand-grand parents burned inside the church near by Shushi, the land of heroes and Center of Old Armenian Empire. I'm proud of them, whom fight for their freedom, and scarified what they had to live free on the holly land of ARARAT.

i care: As an infant I’d stare outside my bedroom window and imagine the trees looking like silhouetted faces. As the wind gently blew through the branches, it appeared as if the trees were talking to each other.
As a child I remember being cherished and pinched on the cheek by my father’s Armenian family. Every summer in Peekskill, NY we would entertain our relatives from NYC, NJ andNew Englandarea eating shish kebabs dolma and pilaf under our grape arbor. I’d look at their warm smiling faces and memorize their interesting names like Acabe, Perous, Karnig and Digin Annie. My father never smiled, he always looked distant and removed from the world around him.
As a teenager I asked my Aunt Vera about my Armenian family’s history. She told me my grand father and uncles were murdered by the Turks on June of 1915. In July 1915 my uncle Henry (Aksor) Terzian was born and my grandmother, father, his brothers and sisters were all exiled from their home in Mezireh. When I asked my father about his past he would look away and not answer my questions.
As a college student in the summer of 1976 I began to ask my uncle Suren and aunt Vera additional details about their families past experiences. I wanted to piece together their random stories they had given to me as a child. Since my father would never answer my questions, I interviewed the only two family members that would remember and respond. I began to ask simple questions then quickly write down fragmented notes. As my aunt would offer small details my uncle would quickly confirm on discredit her response. I still have my rough notes from that day.
In 1985 when the Zoryan Institute came to Peekskill NY to interview and video tape my family. The Interviewer asked specific questions about my families experience with the genocide and growing up as children in Kharpert and Mezireh. My Uncle Suren Terzian who I had always seen smiling now looked like my father, serious, focused and upset.
As an adult, Today isMarch 23, 2005and I have spent hundreds hours reading historical books and documents, interviewing survivors, searching the internet cataloging photographs of Mezireh and Kharpert. What started out as a curiosity of a child has evolved into serious quest to understand what drove the Turkish government of 1915 to destroy my family’s lives along with 1.5 million other Armenian’s?
I have promised myself, my family and the 1.5 million to never forget the Armenian genocide.

i care: For several reasons not unknown or unfamiliar to most of Armenians. Yet, some are very personal because they touch me in a special way and trigger waves of emotions difficult to explain.
From a humanistic approach, no one would like to see the culture of genocide perpetuating; and yet this is what's happening all over the world. Therefore recognition AND reparation are sine qua non conditions for preventing future atrocities across the globe.
On a personal level, it is only in my adulthood that I learned, with total stupefaction, from my 80 years old father that the only reason they had survived the Genocide was because of their "acceptance" of Islam. What was shocking in his statement was the fact that, throughout these years my father had a wound and unconsciously he had wanted to protect and hide that wound from his own sons. That reveals a lot about the deep effects of such a tragedy on seemingly successful people who have survived a genocide and rebuilt their lives.
Finally, I would challenge even the most libertarian and universalist of my fellow human beings who claim that a piece of land does not have any value and therefore do not understand the fuss that the Armenians or others make about such issues, to be forcefully expelled from the place that they had chosen to live in (their own house) and yetnot to feel a sense of disorientation and loss of belonging, both personal and emotional. Now, imagine this happens to not a single individual but to an entire nation. The power is exponentially multiplied, the feeling of injustice rightfullyexacerbated and the determination to get back to where once we belonged reinforced. It is in this context that one has to look into the tragedy of the Armenian Genocide.

i care: YES, I do happen to care about the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It was the first great mass-slaughter of the 20th century. As an American citizen, I am ashamed that my government still does not officially recognize this atrocity, nearly a century later. Just like the slaughter of Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, Communists and Homosexuals, during WWII, we must never forget the Armenian extermination that occurred under the brutal and repressive Ottoman regime.

| i care: My wife is Armenian. Her father, Armen Mirzaian, was born in Baghdad where his mother had escaped to as a little girl with relatives who were fleeing the genocide. Her parents were killed. Armen was one of the most lovely people I have ever met and it was very sad to lose him last year after a long battle with several medical problems. He was a graduate of Baghdad University and Oklahoma University with a Doctorate of Pharmacy degree. It is truly sad that I lived 33 years without having ever heard of this tragedy of the Armenian Genocide. I believe it is imperative that the world recognize officially what was allowed to happen. |

My mother and her siblings grew up without a loving father and in turn I was denied the love of a grandfather. |

i care: why do i care? because so many people on this list have Armenian ancestors who died and married out of the race. because if we had all been in our country and not scattered around the world this wouldn't be true, we could have continued to have people to occupy our country. so i ask you today, why marry an "odar," isn't this a genocide onto ourselves? if we are so mad at the eshootsack turks who killed our families why do we continue to do what they wanted. they wanted to exterminate us, and we are helping them. i care because i live in a city with one Armenian in my grade, out of 300 ninth graders. i care because i am committed to marrying an Armenian, i don't care about "love" with an "odar." Armenian girls during the genocide committed suicide so they wouldn't marry a turk or muslim, why am i going to choose to marry one, or any non-Armenian. i care because my friends don't understand why being a Christian i don't forgive the turks. they want to know what we will do WHEN the turks admit to killing 1.5 million Armenians. i care because i have to live without being in an all armenian community, i will move to Armenia WHEN we get it back. but how many others will. will their "odar" husbands want to move to a poor country? probably not. i care because we could have been a prosperous country, but instead just recently became free. and I'm not even nearly done yet. i care because American school history books say only 600 thousand died! that's about the third of the number! its 1.5 million! i care because if i say 1.5 million died on a test, i will be marked wrong. i care because having as much proof and evidence as we have, usually that wins an argument. what pictures of decapitated men killed by Armenians do the turks have? what pictures of turkish women and children that are alive, but so skinny and starved they look dead? i care because if you search for information on the Armenian genocide, half the websites are about how the Armenians made it up and/or we killed them! i care because my grandfather's and grandmother's family from my dad's side were almost all killed. i care because i live in a country with a president who does not refer to the genocide as a genocide, but uses other words. i care because the holocaust of the Jews is recognized, and even though they are different it is not fair. Hitler killed Jews because of the succes the turks had in denying the holcaust, and they are recognized. i care beacuse genocides are going on right now and the turks could be influencing those people. they did it once, why not do it again? innocent people continue to die because of thier denal. i care because if i have a baby girl in the future i can not name her Shushi, because my friends think it sounds like sushi. it may seem funny, but nobody in Armenia would have thought of that. i can not even give respect to fellow Armenians because of being in a foreign country. i care because 1.5 million innocent people died in inhumane ways. ways that criminals in America do not die. States ban the death penalty for people who rape little girls, and innocent Armenians die. but not like the death penalty where they steralize the needle before injecting the crimianl, they were tortured and INNOCENT!!! they buried there own graves, and were shot into them, were shot for running to rivers. America gives the few people it kills with death penalty any food they want before dienig. Armenians died of hunger, for wanting water, and if killed by other methods were also hungry. so i ask politicians, how can you feel bad for criminals and not the Armenians who died in 1915? are you saying we are worse then criminals? is being Armenian worse than shooting random people on a street? if so i salute the Armenians who marry "odars." at least there kids will not have to be thought of as lower than a rapist. i care because Armenian churches are no longer standing because they were ruined by turks to hide that their land is ours of burned to kill entrapped Armenians. i care because Armenians arrived to safety naked because their clothes had wasted away and because people survived from eating grains out of horse shit. so are we also worse than wastes now? i care because ONE AND A HALF MILLION Armenians died not 600 thousand, and think of all the people they would have reproduced, with other ARMENIANS, in ARMENIA. i care because i live in a country that does not recognize Armenians as Armenians, but as white. i care because i live in a country that would rather have an ally with turkey then admit to the inhumane killings of people whose largest diaspora outside of Armenia is in there country.

i care: I care about the Armenian Genocide because it wiped 1.5 million souls off the face of the earth. I care because it has been largely forgotten and ignored.
I care because my great-grandfather, Avedis Yeretzian was a medical doctor in Keysarii, Turkey at the end of the 19th Century. When an epidemic struck, the other doctors left town. He remained, risking his own life to treat those who were ill: both Turkish and Armenian. He received a medal for his bravery.
In 1895 Turks attacked the Armenians in that city. Some of the same people who survived because of my great-grandfather's work - his own patients - surrounded his home and began to fire guns at the house. This mob set the house on fire and butchered my family as they tried to escape the flames.
Only my five-year-old grandfather and three of his sisters escaped. The rest of the family and neighbors perished.
Later, a citizen of the city told my grandfather that he knew who had led the mob and would kill them. My grandfather, still a young child, told him "No! I was sad to have my father die. Do not make other little boys sad by killing their fathers."
I care about the genocide because the story of my own family was repeated over a million times AND THE WORLD HAS IGNORED IT! Until this genocide is remembered and repented of by the global community, we will have more: The Holocaust, Yugoslavia, Rwanda - what's next?
In my heart I forgive the Turks who butchered my family. But I do not trust a nation that cannot admit the darkness of its pastV |

i care: Care? I wonder if it's a question? How can I not care? Not care about my Armenia, who's innocent children have been killed 90 years ago? One and a half million people! That's no joke! Innocent women and children! That's no joke! Separated families! Not a joke! Orphans who were once happy children! No joke! People going insane! Not a joke! NO! My Armenia has suffered enough! Do we want revenge? Who knows? Do we want peace? Thats a question. But something is for sure: the wound is not healed! The blow that came on my Armenia's heart is never going to be healed! SO STAND UP ARMENIANS! STAND UP FOR YOURSELF! BUT DON'T REVENGE! NO! FOR THERE ARE LOTS OF WINDS, BUT NONE OF THEM CAN BENT THE MOUNTAIN! GOD IS WITH YOU! They hoped that they'll make us forget! They thought it's going to become a myth! But no! Remember turks!
Go ahead, destroy Armenia, see if you can do it. Send them
from their homes into the desert, let them have neither bread nor
water. Burn their homes and churches. Then, see if they will not
laugh again, see if they will not sing and pray again. For, when
two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not
create a new Armenia.
-William Saroyan
Never again turks! Never again! Just try and destroy us again, see if it will work. See if Armenia won't stand up for her children!See if the children won't stand up for Armenia! Let us see! For if Armenia has been, and for it is now than Armenia will be!

i care: As Palestinian from Jerusalem who was brought up with Armenian friends and colleagues, I totally support the Armenian people in their quest for justice. Having said that I like also to remind Armenian lobbyists in the Western countries that too much alliance with the Zionist lobby is destroying the chances of the Armenian people to have the genocides recognized on formal level. The Zionists are only interested in the holocaust and nothing else. You can looby anybody and establish alliance with anyone, but never forget who lent you a hand in the hard times. May God help you in obtaining justice for your anscestors who were murdered in cold blood and under the eyes of the civilized West.

i care: I care because it is my history. If for no other reason than that, I care.
My people, my family, cannot search their heritage and discover long family lines because of the destruction done during the genocide. What I do have is the stories. The story of a grandmother who, as an infant, was crying while in hiding. Her mother was sent out into the woods so the group was not discovered. Sadly, the group was discovered and everyone burned in that building except my grandmother and great-grandmother. Or the story of my great-grandfather who lived under the stairs for weeks, getting food once a day through a small hole. Or my grandfather, who spend 11 years immigrating to America to escape the genocide. This is my family tree, these are the branches of my past, and this is the only history I have to cling to. That is why I care, because it is my history and the people destroyed are my family and the stories left behind are my only links to my past. |

My great grand dads head was cut off and was hanged as a trophy. My cousin was rapped then her stomach was cut and the turks took the baby out and stabbed it. I have felt alot of family pain because of them. IT DID HAPPEN. Day and night i think about wut happened to my family. Please regognize the armenian genocide

Never run and never hide.

Always working hard and strong,

Will not bow and will not yield,

Sword of truth and sword of hope,
sword that cuts away the rope.
Sword that brought Turks so much hate,
wanting us to dissipate.
Killed us off by numbers great,
but found in us a common trait.
You'll never see us laying down,
We'll never let you wear a crown.

the truth emerges as time passes.

| i care: Why i care? That shouldnt be too hard to answer, because 1.5 million of my people died. Everytime i think of the Armenian Genocide i feel down,. down because the whole world is eigther ignorant or stupid, or is afraid to admit that innocent people died for no couse. They lost their lives just because they were living on their own territory, at their homes. What worries me the most is that little children were starved to death, pregnant women were raped, and innocent elders were murdered without anyone admitting that the massacre even occured. Even now few years ago in Bosnia, when the massacre occured the UN and NATO troops were there to help, in WWII Germany was admitted guilty for the genocide against the jews, why cant Turkish govermnet be brought to justice for their wrongdoings? At least if they admitted that they are guilty and stand up for their mistake, they know our nation is greater, it was jealousy that made them corrupt and evil. Hopefully one of the ses days the bastards will admit. |

i care: The fact that educated civilised nations such as Great Britain and The United States fail to recognise the Armenian Genocide is appalling. How cah such great leading nations, examples of human rights and democracy turn a blind eye and not condemn the 1st Genocide of the 20th Century. One which was a basis for the Holocaust. This inevitable truth must be recognised once and for all so that Armenians all around the world can finally begin healing and this sort of madness is not allowed to continue around the world. The Turks not accepting the truth and even attempting to rewrite history is the most deplorable thing of all. How can they not be condemned for this?

i care: In 1915, over half a million Armenians were killed in the most brutal ways. Men were beheaded, women were raped, kids were tortured, and babies were taken out of their mothers stomaches just because the Ottoman Turks wanted to know which sex the baby was. These people had done nothing to the Turks. The Ottomans wanted to leave only one Armenian alive and that one Armenian, they wanted to put to a museum under "The Last Armenian".

i care: I am a 16 year old highschool student, and I am 25% Armenian which doesn't seem like alot. But, I take so much pride in my Armenian Heritage and I am constantly trying to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide. I've even tried to send a letter to CNN for a good topic story. My arguments were..."Why hasn't anyone heard of the Armenian Genocide?", "Why is there not some sort of announcement in commemoration of the atrocities committed against the Armenians?", " Why hasn't the Turkish government first and foremost acknowledge the occurrence of the genocide and more importantly take responsibility for it!" The Armenian Genocide needs to be in our history books, but it's going to take a long time to get it there. So, I'm working on it.
My great grandfather immigrated to the U.S. after hiding in a well in his own village to escape the wrath of the Turkish invasion. We believe that he changed his name when coming to the U.S., so our original last name has yet to be discovered.

i care: I care because of all the innocent Armenians were killed, and the fact that my whole family is living apart and lost for 90 years because of it, all the lives of the innocent babies, kids were taken, that is brutal, sick and unforgivable. My great grand parents were the Armenian genocide's victims. Ever since I understood what happened I have started searching for my family that was left behind in Turkey. I want to find out where they are now and how they are living. I care about my past because it's part of me and it's who I am now. My great grand mom was 7 years old when she escaped the genocide. Turks took her father away right in front of her eyes and her mom died on the way to Russia, and she got to Armenia with her sisters and brothers. My whole family is here alive because of her strength and her not giving up for life. Even thought she was a little girl she was strong and smart. I am proud of her and am willing to search as much as I can to find and reunite with the rest of our family.
I care because it happened to us Armenians,
it is part of my past and future to come,
it will be part of my children's lives,
and the fact that I want the whole world to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

i care: I do care because i am an Armenian and have an Armenian blood in my veins, i care because my nation is still standing up till this day, we might struggle to prove that turks are guilty,but we will. i care because each individual armenian comes from a family that at least had one or two members killed or shall i say slaughtered like dogs and no one giving a damn about it, and bush not recognizing it, i care because we are history that no one knows about, i care because my people were killed, elders, adults, teenagers,kids, children, todlers, and infants, and unborn children. armenian women and girls were raped and killed, how could someone know about it and not do a thing, that person should be punished and not be considered as a human being. i care because my people were killed but till this day we stand up and have our home called Armenia.

i care: I care because the world has a short term memory!
I care because my grand parents were survivors who are not alive to tell the tale!
I care because the Armenian culture is getting "diluted"!
I care because Turkey will never admit any guilt!
I care because I'm proud to have a "ian" at the end of my name!
I care because Armenians (as a People) have never done anything of which to be ashamed!
I care because Turkey has initiated a world wide campaign to discredit our claims!
I care because I never got to see my paternal grandfather!
I care because I have never been to Armenia (yet)!
I care because Armenia is surrounded by hostile nations!
I care because my father passed away without ever visiting his ancestral home!
I care because people have died so that I can live!
I care because there are VERY few survivors left to tell it as it was!
I care because ...not everyone does!

i care: What is a history and why do we need it?
Why do we study this subject in the schools, universities?
Why since Stone Age humanity records its facts?
The answer is simple – to learn the past, to progress the future, to present to our future generations mistakes not to be repeated, to achieve what seems impossible today, and sometimes to repeat the same great mistakes, when there was no punishment for crime.
The WORLD does not accept the fact of Armenian genocide. The WORLD does not accept the fact of murder 1.5 millions of innocent people. The WORLD does not accept the fact that 1.5 millions of people cannot simply disappear from the face of earth, from the land where they lived for ages. The WORLD does not accept the fact that these people been murdered for being Armenians.
It is a fact that Adolph Hitler mentioned – “Who remembers Armenian genocide???” The result was holocaust. People been killed for being Jewish.
Today WORLD accepts the fact of Holocaust, but does not accept the roots of the problem - the Armenian Genocide.
There is always a punishment for any kind of crime, not really matters in what kind of form, and today WORLD still pays the price of ignorance of Armenian Genocide by facing terrorism, wars, and possible future genocides or holocausts – because “Who remembers the Armenian Genocide???”.
It is shame for historians to hide the facts of any genocide, and not preset them at schools. It is a shame for the leaders of this WORLD not to accept the fact of ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, because of certain political interests or relations.
I do care! |

i care: I’m not Armenian but I do care about Armenian genocide. Nobody can close his eyes in front of the face of such cruelty. I can’t understand how there are people, human beings like all of us, who can do this. What is that? … Hate, feeling of predominance, FEAR … What can be so powerful to make you to do that without any guilty conscience?
All people of this planet are human beings no matter their race, colour of the skin or religion; they all have the same rights!!! |

God Bless

i care: I am not Armenian. I am American. Is there any difference when so many lives are wiped away from the face of the earth? At school, I learned about the Armenian genocide. I care and I know others do too. While looking through the list of the people who care, I saw a person who signed "A Turk." He (or she) said he was sorry for what his people did to the Armenians. For a Turk to visit this list and sign his name, I think he really means it. Not all Turks are bad.

i care: Hi, my name is Serge Poirier and i'm Canadian, 42 years old
I grew up without hearing about the Armenian genocide and i was touched and troubled that my government is not talking about it, that our history books did not have anything on this very sad and cruel part of history, i love the Truth, and this, even when it hurts.
My first knowledge of this came through a video on Youtube.com or googlevideo.com, can't remember which of the two websites but nonetheless, i was just shocked by the images that i had seen, and sadly reminded how human beings can be so cruel to one another.
Thanks for making the world aware of what happened and may my God, the God of the Holy Bible bless you greatly for what you are doing, i'm just a human being and am fallable but my God is Truth and loves those who live by it.
