Absolutely breathtaking book - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forty_Days_of_Musa_Dagh   Turks were still demanding in 2009 (successfully) that no movie be produced about this or anything to do with the Armenia genocide.

The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (Die vierzig Tage des Musa Dagh) is a 1933 novel by Austrian-Bohemian writer Franz Werfel based on true events that took place in 1915, during the second year of World War I and at the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. The novel focuses on the self-defense by a small community of Armenians living in a mountainous region of Hatay Province in the Ottoman Empire—now part of present-day southern Turkey on the Mediterranean coast—as well the events in Istanbul and provincial capitals, where the Young Turk government orchestrated the deportations, concentration camps, and massacres of the empire's Armenian citizens. This policy, as well as who bore responsibility for it, has been controversial and contested since 1915. Because of this, or perhaps in spite of it, the facts and scope of the Armenian Genocide were little known until Werfel’s novel, which entailed voluminous research and is generally accepted as based on historical events

Was not familiar with this, thanks for posting it.



Some groups of people are just incompatible with this planet.  

I've found myself saying history repeats itself a lot lately.  Man just does the same shit over and over again.  Technology may change and advance...people don't.

One of history's hush-hush events.

Welcome - again, its a fascinating story of survival.

I understand why Turkey is a U.S. strategic ally but I have a huge dislike for the Turks for there bullshit revisionist history.

They should not bow to these "pressure groups" and just make the damn film.

Thanks for the link

One of my best buds from the Army was Armeneian, he fucking HATED Turks.

That lead to some interesting times in Germany.
