If you have any evidence which confirm that Ottomans committed genocide against Armenians ,you can show it but if you don't have any evidence,Don't ask a question into the air so be silent.

There are so many bones and skulls in Anatolia which belong to Turkish people were massacred by the Armenians but anybody doesn't want to research reality due to making Turkey in a bad position.

I will explain reality

"The Ottoman government, against numerous rebellions that began after 1890 and promptly following Armenian massacres which resulted in the murder of tens of thousands of Turks, contented with informing most important persons of Armenian congregation and Armenian deputies that "Government will take the necessary precautions if Armenians continue to stab in the back and assassinate the Turks". However, it became a necessity to secure behind the borders because the army was in war at various fronts, the events did not stop but increased and assaults towards defenseless Turkish women and children increased.

A Con to having an international day of remembrance for all victims of Nuclear Warfare?

For your debate, you could use the following points to argue against adding a day of remembrance for victims of Nuclear Warfare.

1. Master Chief is right -- why declare an *international* day for an incident that involved victims from only one country?

2. The victims are remembered every year in Japan and around the world on the anniversary of each bombing (Aug. 6 & 9.) Since there already are two days when the victims are remembered, why do we need another day of remembrance?

3. Adding more days to commemorate victims will just fill up the calendar. When every day is a victim remembrance day, the idea of a "day of remembrance" becomes diluted, because there are too many of them. There should be one day to commemorate all victims of war, and leave it at that.

For example, there is already an international day for remembering Victims of the Holocaust (Jan. 27), but there is no U.N. official day of rememberance for over a million victims of the Armenian Genocide (less than 100 years ago), and nearly a million victims of the Rwandan Genocide in the 1990s. If you add days for these to the calendar, then families of victims of smaller, but major incidents will want an official day of remembrance as well (the slippery slope argument.) Eventually, every day will be a remembrance day.

4. It could be argued that the Japanese victims of nuclear warfare were collateral damage resulting from war, the same way civilians killed in the Dresden bombing died in horrific manner--all three bombings were part of a strategy to end a war. Instead of a day to commemorate nuclear warfare victims, and another day to commemorate carpet bombing victims, and another for chemical weapon victims, perhaps the U.N. could simply add an International Day of Remembrance of Civilian Victims of War, to remember civilians killed in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, and other war zones.

5. Victims of nuclear warfare are already remembered on other international commemoration days, such as "International Disarmament Week", which is concerned with preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The International Day of Peace could also be expanded as a day to remember all victims of armed conflict.

Here's a list that shows how the calendar is already filling up with "International Days" regarding war and its victims:

* Jan. 27 - International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust

* March 24 - International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims.

* June 4 - International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression

* June 20 - World Refugee Day

* June 26 - International Day in Support of Victims of Torture

* Aug. 30 - International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances

* Sept. 21 - International Day of Peace

* Oct. 24-30 - Disarmament Week

* Nov. 29 - International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

How do/did Armenians commemorate the Genocide of 1915?

Well... My dad says that they weren't really allowed to express any sort of nationalism, etc. So they could never skip work to go to church for example. During the 1960's, the memorial at in Tsitsernakaberd, Armenia was built. Finally, people had somewhere to go to commemorate the 1.5 million lives lost in 1915. But they were still not allowed to let it interfere with their "daily routines". Most would go after work. Even now, thousands of people go there every year, to commemorate the 1.5 million. As a whole, hundreds of thousands of people visit the monument each year.

Here in the US, we take a more active role. Because the LA region is so full of Armenians, we march through 1) the streets of Little Armenia in Hollywood, and 2) In front of the Turkish embassy. (of course, no one comes to work that day, but it's more of a statement than anything else).

Others visit memorials and hear politicians, and community leaders speak out about it

For others, especially those living outside the LA/ New York region, its a day of remembrance, and they just go to Church to light a candle
