The genocide of Armenians by Ottoman Turks of Asia Minor (Anatolia) during 1909-1923 cannot be forgotten or left unread in pages of history books. We should feel an obligation to remember those who suffered through the horror, those who died, and bring to justices those who committed the crime of genocide. The horrific events of the situation in Asia Minor must be taught to future generations. Individuals need to learn of the historic Armenian genocide, acknowledge the events and put forth evidence to help Turkey realize its historical barbaric past.
