Sad that it has come to this. I can imagine how worried the Armenians around the world are thinking about what is happening to their brethren in Syria.

My mother is Armenian born to parents who escaped Turkey. Fortunately, very few Armenians still live in that hell hole that is the Middle East.

There are many Armenians in the Southern California area, such as the city of Glendale. Many Armenian children attend Armenian schools and there are also Armenian cultural centers here. I was speaking to an Armenian owner of a Sub shop not too long ago after he came back from a wedding in Turkey. He said he told h is relatives that he couldn't believe they held the reception outdoors since it was so dangerous for them there. One of the other co-owners once told me that the Turks forced the Armenians to take Turkish last names.

You mean Muslims haven't been peaceful and tolerant of the Christian minorities, like the IslamoNazi terrorist worshippers keep everybody on this board? Gee, who woulda thunk that? I thought those evil Joooos were the problem? LOL
