This year marks 110 years since the 1915 genocide of the Armenians, Assyrians/Syriacs/Chaldeans, Yazidis, Greeks, and Maronites of the Ottoman Empire. Every April 24, as an Armenian Catholic and descendant of survivors, I mark the day by commemorating the 1.5 million Armenians who perished--and all communities harmed in 1915. To commemorate one group demands commemorating all.
Each year on April 24th, the Armenians, Syriac-Assyrians, and Chaldeans commemorate the Ottoman Empire's genocide of Christians in its lands during World War I. The genocide led to the displacement and killings of more than one and a half million Armenians and hundreds of thousands of Syriac, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and their transformation into minorities who are spread around the world.
The Family First Party recognises the 1915-1923 Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Genocides and calls upon the Australian Government to join with dozens of other nations, including our ally the United States, to do the same. The genocide began under the cover of the Gallipoli campaign and Australian PoWs were among the first-hand witnesses to the mass killing of some 2.5 million Christians.
