When will America start Supporting Armenia with Military equipment and education to kill Turkey Insyead of supporting a Stupid Islamic Nations that is a threat to our Society.
We are Armenian’s are the first Christian Nation in the world and this is the the respect we get from other Christian Nations.
America funds Turkey with Military weapons and ever other type of necessity it has needed for years.That evil Islamic Sunni Radical nation.
Shame on America!!! Stop the injustice
And help Armenia out for once instead of backstabbing, hurting , and betraying Armenians just like the United States has first all these years by helping our enemies
Shame on USA!!!
Once again I was present at Times Square this year.
Thank you and congratulations to all for continuing the tradition and for all of your hard work.
I have spectrum at my residence and was hoping to see and hear about today’s commemoration. Instead I heard that today is holocaust Remembrance Day.
Furious I called up NY 1 and asked them if they were aware of the gathering at Times Square. Their answer was yes. I asked them why they did not cover the news. Their answer was they did not have the resources.
At 10 pm I turned to channel 5 FOX news with the hope of hearing from them about the gathering commemorating the Armenian genocide …….nothing about Armenian genocide, instead they to showed a synagogue full of Jews commemorating the holocaust.
Very disheartening to say the least.
I am Armenian, and would love to march in the Armenian genocide justice. Please update me on when,where, and what time it will be held. I would love to come for the justice of all Armenians!
