A Suggestion to ‘Time’ Magazine
No doubt the editors at "Time" magazine are gearing up to choose their person/people of the year. You might recall it used to be "Man of the Year" before they broke that tradition and chose more than one and also rendered the title gender neutral.
Well, I have a strong recommendation to make to the eminent editors of that publication, which began its run just months before the (formal) founding of the Republic of Turkey by Ataturk.

“Finally, in Turkish propaganda, the PKK is often alleged to include many Armenians. This seems surprising to anyone watching from the outside. But it could well be that Ankara knows something we don’t.”
Absolutely cringeworthy that you cannot make the connection as to why Turks associate Armenians with PKK. Hint: think Hitler and the Jews.

What about the remnants of the sword? Orphans taken in during the genocide. They would have melded into the groups in the region including Kurds. I think there is an element this old memory echoing down the generations, despite the ignorance of it in most Turks, due to induced amnesia.
The government has been tracking ancestral lineage Armenians and other minorities.
But then there is also the completely conspiratorial, schizophrenic, paranoia about minorities rising up against the ruling Turks. Even in what’s supposed to be a republic. Making them see Armenian ghosts popping up and causing trouble. The Armenian boogieman. The psychological trauma of a lost empire is still there.
I have sent numerous Letters to the Editor of Times Magazine over the years and especially on this 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide of which I sent for printing and also on Pope Francis recognition of the Armenian Genocide and not one mention has the Times Magazine wrote articles on the Armenian Genocide or how the Azeri’s have been sniping & killing our Armenian Soldiers & villages month after month with no coverage. Every one should complain on why Armenian issues are ignored.
