  1. Fyi I just rechecked the sources, Egypt has basically been Armenias wonderful and very loyal supporter since who knows exactly how long, It’s Egypt we’re talking haha! So they recognized the genocide summer of 2013 and it was discussed on television. Egypt is Armenia’s Muslim brother.

  2. Wait.. so Syrians good cuz they helped Armenians escape “Ottoman” genocides.
    but then Syrians bad cuz they (as the Islamic terrorist barbaric hordes that they are) fought back against dovelike Assad’s war of genocide.

    And btw, literally the SAME class/society/group within Syria in A VERY PARTICULAR SPECIFIC REGION that so chivalrously welcomed and protected the Armenians during their genocide, is the one (Raqqa, Deir Ez-Zor Bedouin backward Arabs) you and your likes consider the Islamic terrorists of today… literally! It’s as if history itself is trying to prove a point.

    Congrats for the fall of Assad! Habibi!
