The Turkish government (before the civil war started in Syria) sent a team to Syria to take all Syrian documents of the Armenian Genocide back to Turkey to examine. They may also be destroyed by now.

Living in every corner of this universe?
It became a DNA signed in their genes
for generations to come …
Who is able to vanquish them from each cell…???
Is that possible!!!
