    Its way past due that the Armenian genocide was recognised as such. Also not to be forgotten - but it has - is the almost concurrent genocide and ethnic cleansing of Turkeys Greek and Assyrian Christian populations in which at least 1 million died.

    The fact that only 30 countries have recognised these real “crimes against humanity” is deeply ironic when almost the entire world has recognised “apartheid” - during which S.Africa's black population flourished as never before - as a (invented) “crime against humanity”..!
