The Young Turks commited a genocide.

"The Armenian genocide took place between the spring of 1915 and the fall of 1916. At least 664,000 and possibly as many as 1.2 million Armenians were killed. They died in both massacres and individual killings. They were also killed through systematic ill-treatment, exposure, and starvation."

If they were Germans would it be appropriate if they called themselves The Hitler Youth?

As much as I dislike Cenk, I don't think he had anything to with the Armenian genocide ... marble falls Apr 2025 #9

While I find him H2O Man Apr 2025 #13

And Cenk being Turkish is probably only a coincidence ... marble falls Apr 2025 #20

And the fact that he wrote an editorial as a senior at U Penn denying the genocide lapucelle Apr 2025 #21

Right. H2O Man Apr 2025 #27

What are you talking about? Where did you hear that he was trying to re-establish the Ottoman Empire? lapucelle Apr 2025 #30

Actually it's pretty weak for Uygur to pretend that the name isn't a reference to the Ottoman Empire group. lapucelle Apr 2025 #23

The Hitler Jugend was something else entirely DFW Apr 2025 #19

After all the Dem-bashing sh*t he has pulled, he's still a Democrat? Eugene Apr 2025 #6

I don't think he ever was a Democrat. He was a founder of Justice Democrats. lapucelle Apr 2025 #7

He was never a D he is really right wing leaning and crazy and it was pretty obvious Meowmee Apr 2025 #12
