We usually refrain from getting political, but it has now come to the point where we cannot stay silent. This is not politics; it's an issue of survival. It's an existential, humanitarian emergency. The Armenian nation is at risk of suffering yet another Genocide from the same country who still denies committing the previous one in 1915. We must act now to stand on the right side of history.

Today marks the 103-rd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide where 1.5 million Armenians were brutally murdered by the Ottoman Empire—modern day Turkey.
Despite the overwhelming amount of evidence, the Turkish government DENIES that the Armenian Genocide ever took place.
The US government still hasn’t recognized the 1915 events as “genocide” due to ties with Turkey.

Ararat is the biblical mountain in the Armenian Highlands where–according to the Bible (Genesis 8:4)–Noah’s ark landed after the Great Flood, marking the rebirth of human civilization. The area has been the heartland of Armenian history, the location of many Armenian capitals and a fair number of decisive battles. Despite the fact that it’s now in Turkish territory, Ararat remains a national symbol of Armenia.
Armenia
Armenia is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with earliest mentions dating back to 2300 BC, the time when the legendary character “Hayk” established the Armenian nation at the crossroads between the Middle East, Europe and Asia. The capital city, Yerevan was founded in 782 BC, predating Rome by almost 30 years and is one of the oldest cities in the world still in existence. Armenia is also known as the first Christian nation. In 301 AD, more than 1700 years ago, Armenia became the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion.
The Armenian Diaspora and The Genocide of 1915
In 1915, 1.5 million Armenians fell victim to systematic annihilation by the Ottoman Empire–modern day Turkey–in what became known as the Armenian Genocide. In search of safety, Armenians spread all over the world forming communities in just about every country. Currently there are estimated to be 13 million Armenians in the world and only about twenty percent of them live in Armenia.
