Damascus-Sana
“The most horrific crimes against humanity” This is how the genocide crimes committed by the Ottomans against the Armenians were described, as the most horrific massacres witnessed by all mankind and a stain on Turkey’s history, awaiting justice and retribution for the lives of the innocent victims of the massacre.
The number of victims of the genocide committed by the Ottoman colonialists is estimated to be about one and a half million Armenians who fell victim to heinous racist crimes, mass killings and genocide committed by the Ottomans between 1915 and 1923, and some of them witnessed harsh conditions without food or drink where the criminals of the Ottoman militias raced to cows The stomachs of pregnant women and children and the elderly were killed in cold blood.
With the advent of tomorrow's 106th anniversary of these horrific crimes, their horrific crimes are still fresh and alive, awaiting justice from the successive ruling regimes of Turkey, which for decades denied these massacres, accompanied by arrests, executions, displacement, confiscation of property, and burning of Armenian cities and villages as part of a Turanian trend that sought to establish an Ottoman empire. .
The organized campaign launched by the Ottomans to exterminate the Armenians included two massacres, which were followed by genocide, as the Ottomans took advantage of the world's preoccupation with World War I to start campaigns to forcibly displace Armenians. The Ottoman authorities then released all the imprisoned killers and formed militias from them to accompany the deported Armenians to Aleppo in Syria and during that journey the most horrific crimes against humanity were committed .
The lapse of a hundred and six years after the Armenian genocide crimes does not mean its downfall by statute of limitations, especially since the practices of the current president of the Turkish regime, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, mimic, in their ugliness and crimes, what his predecessors committed against the Armenians by pursuing a policy of murder, terrorism and aggression on the Syrian lands and the countries of the region in order to fulfill his obsolete Ottoman illusions.
More than 31 countries, in addition to several organizations, have recognized the truth of the genocide, and the Syrian People’s Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution last year that recognizes and condemns the crime of genocide. All this is evidence that the black stain of murder persecutes the successive Turkish governments that tried to promote the idea that the crime of genocide are unfortunate events that occurred Out of control of the Ottoman Empire.
The crimes of the Ottomans against the Armenians are still considered the biggest massacre in modern history, and while the lives of the victims are chasing those who are in succession to rule Turkey while awaiting justice, these crimes remain a permanent stigma that haunts them over the years.
