The Armenian Genocide

Last Sunday was April 24th. April 24th is probably one of, or the worst day in Armenian history, or shall I say wirld history. On April 24th, 1915, the Turks from the country of Turkey came and killed 1.5 million Armenians for pretty much no reason. Once the Turks did that they took most of Armenia's land. Today Armenia is one of the smallest countries on earth. Fourteen Armenia's can fit in the state of California. That's how small Armenia is. Last Sunday was the 101th year anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Every year, thousands of Armenians gather up some where and walk 12 miles to the Turkish Consalate and protest against Turkey. Today Turkey doesn't admit that there was a genocide, but deep down they know that there was. If you watched the news Sunday you would have heard all about the Armenian Genocide. The Genocide happened during World War 1. The Genocide gets very emotional to my family and I because all of my ancestors died during the Genocide except for this one person named Haig Pakhchanian (I am named after him). He was a general that was my great-great grandpa. I have actually seen pictures of him. He looked really cool. Anyway this was my input on the Armenian Genocide.
