    La Stampa recognizes the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1918


    La Stampa is one of Italy's best-known and most widely sold Italian
    daily newspapers. The article talks about the cruel past of the
    Armenian people who were massacred by the Ottoman Empire and forced
    to march in the hot deserts.

    `The cruel past and alarming present tend to unite, forming a crisis
    which can call into question Turkey's traditional strategic ties with
    the U.S. and NATO. In addition, the current dissension with
    Washington and Paris can block Turkey's thorny path toward the
    European Union. An explosive and critical mass is being accumulated
    in Europe-aspired Turkey. And on the top of this mass appears one
    word - Genocide, the tabooed and defamatory word. This awful word has
    pealed in the Democrat-dominated U.S. Congress as a final verdict
    that cannot be appealed. This word has come to define the Armenian
    `marches of death' that extended from the Anatolian northeast to
    Syrian deserts in 1915-1918. The Ottoman Empire had no mercy on
    children, women and old people. This slaughter is described in
    historical documents, bulletins, testimony of witnesses, novels by
    Franz Werfel and recently shot films,' the article says.

    `Many historians say it was the first genocide of the 20th century,
    maybe because Young Turks, redial reformators and patriots, their
    powerful military heirs and secular governments controlled by them,
    never recognized the fact of the Genocide. They always denied this
    terrifying word and chilling statistics which stubbornly reminded of
    1 million 800 thousand killed Armenians. They kept on insisting that
    the casualties reached 200 thousand only as result of the chaos
    inherent to war. Since those times, the Turkish authorities have
    followed state historical revisionism. The incumbent Erdogan and
    Gul-led Islamist government is not an exception,' La Stampa reports.
