JTW News - List of Humanitarian Crimes Do Not Mention Western War Crimes, but the Armenian

"List of Humanitarian Crimes Do Not Mention Western War Crimes, but the Armenian
Kemalettin TASHKIRAN

�The latest genocide and bloody events list� published by the 'Conscience Committee' of the Genocide Commemoration Museum in the United States (US) claims that Turkey killed 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey in 1915 though there was no country with name �Turkey� at that time. Turkish politicians and diplomats argued that the list is political and biased. Turkey was founded in 1923.
According to the list, seven million people had been murdered in Ukraine by the former Russian leader Joseph Stalin in 1932-33, the Japanese killed 300,000 Chinese in the Nanjing massacre, six million Jews had been murdered in Nazi Germany between 1938-1945, two million people under the Pol Pot regime had been killed in Kampuchea in 1975-79, 200,000 people in Bosnia between 1992 and 1995, and 800,000 people in Rwanda in 1994 had been murdered. Strangely the list does not mention Western war crimes except the Nazis. For instance the Algerian Massacre (if not genocide) or the American war crimes are not mentioned by the list. More than 900,000 civilian Algerians were massacred by the French Army."
