Turkey anger at Pope Francis Armenian 'genocide' claim


Turkey summons [subsequently they have recalled their ambassador to Vatican] the Vatican ambassador after Pope Francis used the word "genocide" to describe killings of Armenians under Ottoman rule in WW1.

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.

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'
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.

A wise man said, "The World is a Stage..."and I agree with him, but there is more to it than that .........................................!!!
Besides being a stage and us as actors-actresses, the World is a Web too ... and this is with the complements of the 1% and Big Brothers Without Borders...
Spider in its decorated web...
Be very careful and do not get tangled in the web of the Big Brothers Without Borders...
It will be a hell of a nightmare...

Here Turkey bans opposition parties ads... and says it is "democratic" and a friend of the NATO-West... in fact, Turkey is a member of NATO-West...

The state run TV station TRT has banned the advert featuring the  election slogan "We applaud as a nation" of the main opposition...


...And here...

Egypt Muslim Brotherhood chief Mohammed Badie sentenced to death....

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... 
Human life is not valued for them...
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...
Check the brutality below...
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.

Francis Pusok is definitely not an angel... But he does not deserve the beating in the hands of the law enforcers... 
And in South Carolina...
Policman kills the man by firing eight bullets ...
No one desreves that...
But caught in the web of the powerful... No one is safe anymore...

And in China...
They arrest you even before you deonstrate...
Clockwise from top left: Li Tingting, Wu Rongrong, Zheng Churan, Wei Tingting, Wang Man. 
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
