before you send someone an ugly message perhaps exfoliate your skin, set some life goals and contemplate why you've reached this point

Today marks the one-hundred year anniversary of the Armenian, Assyrian and Pontic-Greek/Anatolian Greek genocide. Between 1,500,000-2,000,000 Christians native to the territories of the Ottoman Empire were forced out of their ancestral homelands, raped, murdered, tortured and starved to death by the Young Turk Regime at that time. I still cannot comprehend the immense strength of my Pontic-Greek great-grandparents and how they lived through such an atrocity. To those who perished during such a terrible event in history, you are never forgotten by your descendants who fight and struggle for the recognition of these genocides. Shame on the Turkish Government for trying to paint over this event in their history with lies and deception. Lest We Forget.
