#Armenian genocide of 1915

[dougielombax]

Meanwhile the Turkish govt continues to deny that it ever happened.

Despite many irrefutable accounts from survivors and eyewitnesses and many governments around the world recognising it.

All while Turkey enables Azerbaijan’s continued attempts to destroy Armenia, while it in turn tries to destroy the Assyrian and Kurdish peoples as well.

Fuck Erdogan!

Feel free to reblog the shit out of this post.

When the Ottoman Empire went to war alongside the Central Powers in 1914, the Armenians appeared as "internal enemies" close to the Russians. In 1915 the Ottoman government took the decision to exterminate the Armenian population. More than 2/3 will be killed

Today we remember the Armenian Genocide and Honor its 1.5 Million Victims

"I became interested in genocide, because it happened so many times. It happened to the Armenians and after the Armenians, Hitler took action." ~ Raphael Lemkin

We call on Turkey, the nation responsible, to own its history and recognize the victims. Thankfully, on June 2, 2016, the German Bundestag (Parliament) almost unanimously (with one vote against and one abstention) passed a resolution qualifying the Ottoman-era Armenian killings 'genocide'. Denial of the genocide is criminalized. Punishable by up to 3 years in prison and a fine not to exceed €30,000, per act. If your country hasn’t  recognized the Armenian genocide until now, call or write to your Representative and demand action. It’s 108 years today, that the 1.5 million victims, who were robbed of their homes, lives, and dignity should finally receive the justice a world that looked away since 1915 owes them. 

If you lack knowledge of the Armenian Genocide, there are countless resources you can use:

”One hundred years ago, on the night of April 24, 1915, the genocide of more than 1,500,000 Armenians began. The first to be singled out and massacred were the leaders and intellectuals of the Armenian communities in Ottoman Turkey; when it was over, two out of three Armenians living in that country had perished–the victims of a systematic extermination of Turkey’s Armenian population.

The entire Armenian population was uprooted from its indigenous homeland, which it had inhabited for over 3,000 years.

Hundreds of Armenian churches, monasteries, schools, and cultural centers in Ottoman Turkey were destroyed.

Raphael Lemkin–who first coined the term “genocide” and is considered the father of the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention–cited the fate of Ottoman Turkey’s Armenian population as an example of what constituted a genocide.

In their brutality, the Ottoman Turks set the tone for the 20th century: a dreadful tone which would be heard again in the Nazi death camps, in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in Rwanda and Darfur. And it echoes ominously in our own time, in desperate places where “ethnic cleansing” has become a policy of state, instead of a crime before man and God.” (The Diocese of the Armenian Church of America [Eastern])

OMG!!!!A FELLOW MARIKA LOVER!!!!!

I needed someone to ramble about Marika for so long. Bruh she's like one of the best female characters I've seen in a while

But when I first got into the fandom, it's like people are VERY bad towards Marika and what they said about her is how she's *insert a crazy amount of slurs offensive towards a woman*

She's very prominent to the story and they thought she was responsible for everything, stay with me on this. I understand she's responsible MAJORLY, but not ENTIRELY

They have a whole cast of characters and they decided to hate on one woman for idk all the bad things? It's like blaming the rock because someone throws it at you

Hello, hello!

She is! I didn't like her that much at first, but then I looked a bit more into her lore and later actions and she got me. Very complex and honestly just a really fun character to think about! And write! Oh, I love writing her.

I think I missed the blatant hate, but it doesn't surprise me. Those folks are just an insta block for me anyway, so even if I saw them, I have forgotten them :P. I did got the one dimensional takes on her though, but those are generally chill or used to make jokes.

She is basically fully responsible for like 70-80% of the story before the Shattering, but yeah, after (and sometime before) it you have so many other forces making plays while she's straight up crucified.

But I do get the hate, tbh? What I don't get is why folks needed/need to vocalise it. Basic fandom etiquette, we don't tag hate on character's tags. Back on the hate, she did conquered half a continent and put in power an bigoted theocracy, she did enslave a whole species (trolls) and she did commit genocide fucking twice (fire giants & ancient dragons). Like, I get why folks might hate her, especially with the whole genocide thing. She's undeniable a villain in this story.

I just think she's more than that. Cause she did all that, right? She destroyed so much and build as much. But when Godwyn and Ranni "die", she goes and tears it all down. Like, can you imagine? Literal eons upon eons of killing, burning and then building and creating over the ashes and corpses. And she throws literally everything away in grief. This is the main thing that I love about her. She is this cruel and ruthless Goddess, but she gradually loves her kids. I honestly think that the beginning of her plotting against the Greater Will was when she was forced to toss her Omen kids in the sewers. Is she hard on them? Yeah. They are demigods and they have so much shit to deal with just by being that. But she loves them in her own way.

Am I mixing headcanon with canon? Probably, yeah. But I don't care. I don't generally like villains, Imma keep the one I do close and if I have to ignore canon to do so, I will.

Also I'm sorry, I'm very tired (it's long past this "old" hag's bedtime :P). I hope this is understandable in some way. But yay! Marika love! <3

#elden ring #asks #queen marika the eternal #before anyone goes moral police about the genocide thing #i'm half armenian #i'm well aware what a genocide is irl and the results of such a destruction #but the thing is that elden ring is fiction while the 1915-17 massacres were very much not

[rosesvioletshardy]

i’m sorry but i do not support the following countries:

azerbaijan, turkey, and israel

and nor will i ever post anything positive about them. they have killed millions and yet to recognize what the have done. israel helped arm azerbaijan with killing armenians as azerbaijan not only killed thousands and thousands of innocent lives, but are also tearing and destroying thousands of years old christian churches and are killing ethnic armenians out of their home in artsakh . turkey continues to deny the 1915 genocide where they killed 1.5 million of people and are also helping the azeri people kill armenians.

#there are def more but all 3 are killing armenians and helping create another genocide #as if the 1915 1.5 million dead wasn’t enough #not to mention the constant denial of the genocide #azerbaijan is a terrorist state

[caitietheshiz]

Today (4.24.23) marks 108 years since the beginning of the Armenian Genocide.

I always expect myself to feel differently, but I never do. I think about the storied I was told as a child. The stories of women and unborn babies being brutalized. Whole villages being wipped off the map. Stories of my great grandparents' escape to the United States. Stories of family who never made it.

My heart is heavy. Heavy with the knowledge that Turkey continues to deny what they did and continue today. Heavy knowing that my people still living on ancestral land are being attacked for who and what they are.

Since I was very little my grandfather told me that " the best revenge is living." I didn't really understand that as a kid, but I get it. I am alive. I and all other Armenians (living in the diaspora or on ancestral land) are proof that we cannot be exterminated. We will not be destroyed.

We will live on.

We will thrive.

We will have our revenge.

Okay.

Let me make something QUITE clear!

No genocide is justifiable.

Whether it’s one that’s already happened (the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, The Sayfo (LOOK IT UP!!!), the Anfal genocide, the Bosnian genocide, the Rwanda genocide, the Killing Fields in Cambodia, the 1973 Bengali genocide (fucking hell, Pakistan!), etc), one that may be unfolding right now, or one that’s entirely hypothetical and imagined by delusional freaks.

There is no defence for marking en entire people as being born guilty and inherently irredeemable and thus somehow deserving of being murdered en masse on the basis of their race, religion (that includes ethnoreligion), disability/ies, or any other such factor.

Nor is there any defence, reason, rationale or justification for inciting genocide.

None.

Not one.

Zero.

It is WRONG.

Indefensible.

Completely!

It is indefensible.

It was indefensible.

It will be indefensible.

It has always been indefensible.

Nothing that you do, say, or think can even justify any atrocities of that kind!

If anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying. And they most likely KNOW that they’re lying!

And if you buy into that shite, then you are a dangerous fucking MORON and a delusional pricklet what should probably be kept FAR away from society!

If you think otherwise, you are STUPID.

Stupid AND dangerous. And if you cannot now see that, then you will DIE stupid, in perpetual ignorance and it will be your own damn fault.

End it.

Starting yesterday.

In the spring of 1915, after the Ottoman defeat at Sarikamich, the Young Turk government attacked the Armenians who were victims of mass arrests, deportations and massacres. This genocide, organized by the most radical, will cause 1.3 million deaths.

[palipunk]

Armenians have lived in Jerusalem for 1,600 years and Armenian Palestinians are the oldest group in the Armenian diaspora. From their indigenous land in Artsakh to the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem, Armenians have been facing ethnic cleansing and persecution on multiple fronts. With the escalating genocidal violence in Gaza and the West Bank, armed settler encroachment into Armenian holdings in Jerusalem has fallen under the radar of some pro-Palestine activism and it is critical we do not allow this to happen.

Some context:

( In 1948, Armenians in Jerusalem numbered about 16,000. Today, that number has shrunk; estimates range from 700-1000, with a smaller community in Bethlehem. )

“We are not the objectives of the Israelis, but we occupy a huge chunk of Jerusalem. The fact that we’re here is an obstacle for them, but we’ve been here for 1,600 years and we’re not going anywhere.” "These are only the most visible of the challenges facing the community....Israeli discrimination, economic decline, and political insecurity have taken a toll on Armenians, encouraging emigration. A century after the community was nearly annihilated, Armenian Palestinians today say they feel deeply at home in the Holy Land, but fear how much longer they will be able to hold on."

“Don’t ask me about the massacres that happened 100 years ago [1915],” Annie Guluzian said when asked about her experiences as an Armenian Palestinian. “I won’t open [up about] those topics. Because if I do, I will start talking about my brother who was martyred by the Israelis in the [second] Intifada.” The toll of the Israeli occupation in Palestine is what defines her life today, Guluzian added. Source

Since October 26th, 2023, when the leader of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem announced it would cancel a once-secret 2021 land lease deal with a real estate company that has alleged links to settler interests, the company, Xana Gardens, has sent in armed settlers and bulldozers to steal the land (including Armenian Chruch property and several Armenian families). Armenians have been resisting the occupational forces day in and day out.

In response, Armenians have created an account on Twitter called SaveTheArq which has been documenting and updating on social media the recent land demolitions by Israeli settlers in the Armenian quarter, they have also launched a fundraiser for legal actions to protect the Armenian quarter and I highly recommend donating, if you can't, please share it around:
