The Turks are not happy.
Pope Francis on Sunday described the mass killing of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians as the “first genocide of the 20th century,” angering Turkey, which refuses to acknowledge the slaughter in such stark terminology.
“In the past century, our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies,” the pontiff, citing a declaration from predecessor John Paul II, said at a ceremonial Mass to mark the centennial of the killings. “The first, which is widely considered ‘the first genocide of the 20th century,’ struck your own Armenian people.”
Turkey, which continues to deny that genocide ever took place, immediately summoned a Vatican ambassador to explain the remarks.
In fact, the Turks bear only marginal responsibility, as the Armenian genocide was largely committed by Jews.
The Jews have also tried to downplay this genocide, as they do with Holodomor, not only to keep people from investigating their genocidal crimes, but also in order to make their fake genocide – “The Holocaust” – seem more important.
