Thank you for speaking out about The Armenian Genocide. You speak so articulate and enjoyed listening to you. I am a grandchild of 4 grandparents who survived the genocide.

[@badgerfaninnj]

you are so articulate, Joe. So proud of you now, as our hearts bleed for our brothers and sisters in Artsakh.

to stop genocide of any nations , the global school system have to educate our children to love each other, just imagine ,if we have no genocide, our country will be so huge and strong, and raise intelligent, smart nation of Armenians.

I really like what John Manganiello. I like what he is doing and the meaningful projects he is involved in.

Thank you so much for speaking up 🙏
I am a 3 rd generation of Genocide …
Please check how Hitler was justifying his actions against Jews.
“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians ? “
(The word GENOCIDE did not exist than 😢)
I really wish people understand how painful and traumatic still is to be part of this unforgettable tragedy …
It’s unforgivable !
No nation deserves what the Armenians faced 1915-1920 mainly because they were Christians
🙏🙏🙏

Many of us are mixed. Let's celebrate and love. PS Is he beautiful or what? I've never seen him on any show or movie. I will have to look him up!

I think the Armenian genocide is well known in Europe because of the diaspora, especially to the Middle East - largely British ruled.

Turkish government still denied Armenian Genocide 😢
Erdogan and Aliyev have their own agenda to take over Armenia 🇦🇲
Thanks for the great information 👍

Gracias por mantener viva las memorias de los miles de miles de Armenios que fueran víctimas del los horribles crímenes del emperio Otomano. Una vos un solo pueblo junto al Pueblo Hebreo nos unimos en una sola vos. ¡¡¡ Qué viva Armenia libre y soberana!!!!

Thank you for speaking about The Armenian Genocide and your family's experience with the Armenian Genocide. Thank you for sharing your truth. My Nana survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide at the age of six years old. When I was eight yrs old my Nana told me the horrors she experienced and witnessed during The Armenian Genocide. I'm grateful My Nana told me her truth. Nana told me Never forget where you came from. I am proud to be Armenian. I love and miss my beautiful Nana. Thank you Nana.
