Armenian Genocide - Wed 6pm

Peter Balakian:  On April 24, 1915, the Turkish government launched the genocide of the Armenians. The state-sponsored mass murder campaign destroyed the millennia-old Armenian people in their historic homeland. Their churches and schools were razed to the ground. Their homes and lands were seized. Their culture and memories erased. Today, Armenians and human rights advocates everywhere demand justice and acknowledgement but Turkey continues to deny the genocide. Peter Balakian, historian, poet, and professor at Colgate University. He is one of the foremost authorities on the Armenian cause.
