Turkey anger at Pope Francis Armenian 'genocide' claim
The foreign ministry reportedly told the envoy it was "disappointed" by the comments, which caused a "problem of trust" between Turkey and the Vatican.
Armenia and many historians say up to 1.5 million people were systematically killed by Ottoman forces in 1915 [and the rest deported...]
Turkey has consistently denied that the killings were genocide.
The Pope's comments came at a service in Rome to honour a 10th Century mystic, attended by Armenia's president.
The dispute has continued to sour relations between Armenia and Turkey.
'Bleeding wound'
The Pope first used the word genocide for the killings two years ago, prompting a fierce protest from Turkey.
At Sunday's Mass in the Armenian Catholic rite at Peter's Basilica, he said that humanity had lived through "three massive and unprecedented tragedies" in the last century.
"The first, which is widely considered 'the first genocide of the 20th Century', struck your own Armenian people," he said, in a form of words used by a declaration by Pope John Paul II in 2001.
Pope Francis also referred to the crimes "perpetrated by Nazism and Stalinism" and said other genocides had followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Burundi and Bosnia.
He said it was his duty to honour the memories of those who were killed.
"Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding without bandaging it," the Pope added.
Many members of the Armenian clergy were at the ceremony
Turkey rejects the use of the term "genocide" to describe the 1915 mass killings of Armenians
On
Sunday, Pope Francis also honoured the 10th Century mystic St Gregory
of Narek by declaring him a doctor of the church. Only 35 other
people have been given the title, including St Augustine and the
Venerable Bede.
Armenia
marks the date of 24 April 1915 as the start of the mass killings.
The country has long campaigned for greater recognition of what it
regards as a genocide.

The
Pope was perfectly conscious that by using the word "genocide"
he would offend Turkey, which considers the number of deaths of
Armenians during the extinction of the Ottoman Empire exaggerated,
and continues to deny the extent of the massacre.
But
the Pope's powerful phrase "concealing or denying evil is like
allowing a wound to bleed without bandaging it" extended his
condemnation to all other, more recent, mass killings.
Pope
Francis' focus today on Armenia, the first country to adopt
Christianity as its state religion, even before the conversion of the
Roman Emperor Constantine, serves as yet another reminder of the
Catholic Church's widely spread roots in Eastern Europe and the
Middle East. More than 20 local Eastern Catholic Churches, including
that of Armenia, remain in communion with Rome.
'Political conflict'
'Political conflict'
In
2014, for the first time, Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered
condolences to the grandchildren of all the Armenians who lost their
lives.
But
he also said that it was inadmissible for Armenia to turn the issue
"into a matter of political conflict".
Armenia
says up to 1.5 million people died in 1915-16 as the Ottoman empire
split. Turkey has said the number of deaths was much smaller.
Most
non-Turkish scholars of the events regard them as genocide. Among the
other states which formally recognise them as genocide are Argentina,
Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Russia and Uruguay.
Turkey
maintains that many of the dead were killed in clashes during World
War I, and that ethnic Turks also suffered in the conflict.

An Egyptian court has confirmed the death sentence on Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie and 13 others for planning attacks against the state...
This Islamists... be they in Turkey or on Egypt or in ISIS, Islamic-Jihadists territory or in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia or the Ayatollah controlled land of Iran or reactionary Pakistan... are all very fond of massacres and brutality and hangings and bombings...

As long as the NATO-West supports these regimes... they will continue the savagery and brutality... As long as the NATO-West does not recognize the Armenian Genocide followed by the Assyrian and Pontic Greeks... The Islamic world will not evolve into a more humane social norms... and the atrocities will continue and the beheadings will perpetuate... and we will be like them...

10 San Bernardino, near Los Angeles, deputies placed on leave after beating caught on video to beat a man who surrenders to them...
Pusok
had his hands behind his back as he lay on the ground when two of the deputies began striking him, including a kick to the groin,
according to the video. More deputies soon arrived, and the video
shows one trying to get one of the original deputies to step away
from Pusok, who was later taken to the hospital.
During
the beating, which involved as many as 11 deputies and lasted
for about two minutes, Pusok was kicked and kneed about a dozen
times and punched more than two dozen times, according to the video.
Three
deputies were also taken to the hospital; two were treated for
dehydration and one was kicked by the horse, according to the
sheriff's department.

Five young Chinese feminists, whose detention has provoked an international outcry, may face up to five years in prison over their campaign for gender equality.
The women were among detained on March 6 and March 7 in three Chinese cities -- Beijing, Guangzhou and Hangzhou -- shortly before events they had planned for International Women's Day on March 8.
Be very careful of the Big Brothers...
They will arrest you for no reason... they will harass you for no reason... they will torture you, just like the Islamist-fascists in Turkey...
The world is a large web... and the Big brothers are ruthless poisonous spiders... Be very careful...
And,
Unless the WORLD stops playing politics with human rights and genocides... Unless the WORLD recognizes and condemns the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE... the brutalities in the Middle East will continue and the Christian minorities will be massacred...
All the governments must be as courageous as the POPE and recognize and condemn and heal and live in PEACE and in HARMONY...

HAPPY SECOND EASTER TO ALL
