Mr. Sassounian wrote an article on how the Jews in Palestine escaped extermination, unlike the Armenians in Turkey; and a couple of articles in Haaretz discuss a new book on how the Pope had interceded with the Germans in Palestine to save the Christians and Jews there; and that the Pope was also involved in the plot too kill Hitler. “An Unlikely Savior.” Haaretz.
Historical moment.
Wonderful article! I applaud Pope Francis for recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
At the very least it had to an Argentine who finally kept his promise on the before and after scenario that many have never upheld, latest case and point being President Obama and Secretary to UN Mrs Samantha Power. Shame to those who sell fake currency and hail to some that still value the price of truth and dignity
We congratulate Pope Francis for commemorating our 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide at the Vatican on April 12th, 2015. God Bless him. He will always be remembered on this well recognized tragedy of the Armenian People.
Congratulations to the Pope-a man of courage and conviction
Where was the public outrage when Mr Obama caved to Turkish pressure?
Let’s hope that on 12-th April Vatican will be full of Armenians from the world to parecipate Pope Mass and request the civil countries for the ricogniction of Genocid!!! That I belive is a unic important manifestation for media
Thank you Pope Francis. A man of dignity, honesty and peace! Please don’t cave like other leaders did.
